Reinventing Grand Army Plaza: Visionary Designs for the Heart of Brooklyn showcases 30 design schemes to transform Grand Army Plaza into a safer, more accessible and active public space. 

In the fall of 2008, the Design Trust and the Grand Army Plaza Coalition mounted a free, large-scale exhibition in the center of Grand Army Plaza that showed 30 visionary plans for the reinvention of this magnificent civic space. This unprecedented exhibit laid the groundwork for a Plaza that will be more beautiful, support a range of public events, and provide safer and easier access for pedestrians, motorists and cyclists alike.

The publication provides a historical, physical and cultural context for the Plaza, and recommends steps the community can take to achieve the goal of a new master plan and a comprehensive renovation. The book is meant to be a tool for the community, civic leaders, government officials, and concerned citizens to galvanize support for a reinvented Grand Army Plaza.
