  • Urban River Swimming: Six American Initiatives
    CHARLES RIVER CONSERVANCY SWIM PARK PROJECT Urban River Swimming: Six American Initiatives Gürcan | Marzan | Mittleman | Situ Executive Summary or centuries, cities have looked to their rivers as means of transportation, sourc- es of power, and wellsprings of commerce. During the Industrial Revolution, Fcities across the globe sought to harness the power of their urban rivers to fuel budding industrial operations and to generate rapid economic growth; but this growth came at a steep price. Severe pollution and freshwater contamination became the trade- marks of industry, and many rivers throughout the United States and abroad became so polluted that they were considered public health hazards. Recent urban planning movements in cities around the world have sought to reclaim these once polluted rivers. In Boston, the once severely polluted Charles River is now clean after decades of restoration work, and the Charles River Conservancy is leading the effort to help citizens reengage with the river through the establishment of a riverfront swim park. In January 2017, the Charles River Conservancy contracted a team of graduate students from Tufts University’s Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning program to con- duct a comparative analysis of river swimming efforts taking shape across the country. The goal of this analysis was to inform the design and programming of the Conservancy’s planned riverfront Swim Park at North Point Park in Cambridge. Through web-based re- search and key-informant interviews, this research aims to explore the diverse approaches and challenges faced by six US cities that are attempting to establish river swimming proj- ects. By conducting a comparative analysis of these efforts, this report highlights national best practices and provides recommendations specifc to the Charles River Conservancy’s Swim Park Project.
