"Charleston Waterfront Park established an important precedent for preserving the water’s edge for public use by all through partnership between local leadership and a landscape architect, who gives form to civic aspirations. The innovative design integrates significant sustainable and urban design ideas with the landscape architecture. The park remains a catalyst for investment in the city, creating far more value than private development. The park is a beloved symbol of the city’s transformation."
