  • Introduc Tion
    1 INTRODUCTION SHIP CREEK FRAMEWORK PLAN INTRODUCTION This Framework Plan proposes a long-term vision for the future evolution of the Ship Creek area of Anchorage, including downtown Anchorage and the Cook Inlet waterfront. In its 100 year history the Municipality of Anchorage has evolved from a tent city to a major metropolitan center and transportation hub on the Pacific rim. This Plan will guide future development of the original site of Anchorage, Ship Creek for the next century of growth and evolution, and when fully implemented will create something that Anchorage has never had: A truly accessible and public waterfront. Anchorage is the only major US city on a large body of water without such a waterfront, and given the spectacular natural setting that Anchorage enjoys and the immediate access to its surrounding natural areas, giving the public an attractive and accessible Cook Inlet waterfront this is the logical next step in the city’s development. As newer generations of Americans migrate back to our cities’ centers seeking a more urban and sustainable lifestyle, this waterfront will add tremendous value to Anchorage’s downtown, Anchorage aerial photograph further stimulating investment and development. 2. The economy is strengthening. Recovery from the “great What do people want? The Framework Plan shares many of the same goals and makes many recession” is underway.
