COOPER’S POYNT COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION PLAN
Camden, NJ
An urban development project for a self-contained community, situated in a historic industrial zone where gelatin, steel and shipbuilding were once manufactured directly across the bridge from downtown Philadelphia, sought to re-establish the continuity of the urban street grid as the starting point for new residential blocks and infill housing.
The conceptual master plan envisions 770 new homes of workforce housing for moderate and low-moderate income families. It reclaims neighborhood scaled blocks out of decimated brownfield sites and discontinued streets. Using housing as a stabilizing force for the community, it frees up waterfront property for later economic development projects.
