Battery Park

A quiet haven in downtown Manhattan.

Battery Park City was once the home of container shipping and seaport traffic. In the 1960s, the city reclaimed the land and founded the Battery Park City Authority to own and operate the neighborhood. By the 1970s, it had become a model construction plan for urban residential living.
