Did You Know?
Paterson, with its rich history as the nation’s first planned industrial city, was once home to a multitude of industries, including textile, firearms, silk, and railroad locomotive manufacturing, all powered by the 77-foot-high Great Falls of the Passaic. Although these industries contributed to the city’s prosperity during the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries, they left a legacy of industrial pollution that remains even now. The city has filed an application to become a brownfield development area with the NJ Department of Environmental Protection. Students in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences’ landscape architecture program addressed possible adaptive reuses of Paterson’s brownfield sites within the wider context of urban renewal. Six student teams each created a master plan that addressed aspects of residential and commercial use, recreation, and historic preservation, as well as sustainability and smart growth. The student work, including models and drawings, was exhibited at the Paterson Museum.
