Jersey City and its Environment

Dave Smith and I are teaching a regional design studio about the environment of Jersey City.  After the initial inventory phase, students made proposals about the kinds of design issues they wanted to investigated.  The following posts show slides from their presentations.

I will be happy to pass along any comments you have to the students.  They will also be checking this blog for you input.  So comment, question, opine as you see fit!

The first team is interested in improving the streetscapes of Jersey City.
