At the Center of Growth of 21st Century Washington
With Washington’s downtown nearly built out, the city’s pattern of growth is moving eastward toward and across the Anacostia River. The destiny of the city as the nation’s capital and a premier world city is inextricably linked to re-centering its growth along the Anacostia River and making its long-neglected parks, environment and infrastructure a national priority. The recovery of the Anacostia Waterfront will help to reunite the capital city economically, physically and socially.
The vision of the AWI is of a clean and vibrant waterfront with parks, recreation uses and urban waterfront settings – places for people to meet, relax, encounter nature and experience the heritage of the waterfront neighborhoods. The AWI also seeks to ensure that the social and economic benefits derived from a revitalized waterfront are shared by those neighborhoods and people living along the Anacostia River for whom the river has been distant and out of reach.
