Abstract:
The Atlantic City Boardwalk and Waterfront area in recent times has lost its vibrant status. To solve this problem, a master plan was developed to revitalize the Boardwalk and Waterfront within Atlantic City. The revitalization strategy includes linking the waterfront, and voids along the Boardwalk with the inner city in order to establish an optimum usage and also create a vibrant atmosphere of both places for its citizens. This project considered the history, culture, contemporary pedestrian needs and implements them into an environmental and urban setting in order to reestablish the Boardwalk's image. It also assesses how the Boardwalk could serve as a nodal link between the city and the water, be made to attract to citizens and visitors, and also diversify economic potentials of the current domineering gaming industry.
