Burlington's waterfront is one of the community's
most important visual and recreational resources. Over the last
decade, the City has improved park and open space, removed vacant
structures, cleaned up contaminated land, and made infrastructure
improvements to ensure pedestrian, bicycle and vehicle access.
Today the waterfront provides a range of cultural, recreational,
social and economic activities for the entire community.

The Waterfront Revitalization Plan describes the overall
strategy for the waterfront and the major projects and elements
of that strategy. This is the guiding document for the City's
waterfront development activities.

Over the years, the Burlington Waterfront has provided a vehicle
for numerous artistic and academic projects. Most recently,
University of Vermont students crafted conceptual designs for the
Burlington Waterfront and harbor in the Ecological Design Atelier, a
University of Vermont Spring 2007 course taught by Dr. John Todd and
Diane Gayer. To view their work, visit

This problem-based, cross-disciplinary course took on the
Burlington Waterfront from Englesby Ravine to the Intervale for
analysis and redesign. The goals of the course are to research
existing conditions, determine needs, integrate the design of place
and systems in alignment with ecological design principles, and
affect policy. The course is based on small group, self-directed
learning and place-based design solutions to critical issues. Past
studio problems have included designs for UVM student housing and
Burlington's Moran Plant.
