The Waterfront Center announces winners of the 2005
“Excellence on the Waterfront” Program
• Wuxi Li Lakefront Design, Jiangsu Province, China. • Trinity Uptown Plan, Fort Worth, TX.
The Waterfront Center launched the “Excellence on the Waterfront” Awards Program in 1987 to recognize high quality waterfront work of varied kinds to encourage communities, developers and design firms to strive for well-designed undertakings. Entries are taken from around the world and for both projects and plans. In 1993, the Center established the Clearwater Award to recognize voluntary, grassroots efforts by citizens. The award was named for the project Clearwater, an educational, environmental clean-up and cultural non-profit organization focused on the Hudson River founded by folksinger and activist, Pete Seeger.
