3. Open Space Planning
Re-thinking Newark - Working Landscape
Newark is one of the nation’s oldest industrial cities and the largest city in New Jersey. Like many older industrial cities,
Newark has legacy of both grand historic open spaces and environmental degradation. Newark has lowest acreage of open
space per capita of any major city in the country, only 2.9 acres of parks per 1,000 residents, ranking it at the bottom of 55
major cities in the United States. At present Newark has only 5.3% of open space.
4. Open Space Planning
Re-thinking Newark - Working Landscape
Location: open spaces, brown eld sites, vacant land, superfund sites near active conrail line
Vision: To open up the existing industrial landscape along the Conrail corridor to Newark residents, visitors and workers by
remediating and linking superfund sites. To transform this space int a recreational/educational amenity and wildlife habitat
while preserving and showcasing its industrial character.
5. Open Space Planning
Re-thinking Newark - Working Landscape
Proposed Activities:
- A pedestrian/bike path
- Recreation/educational Programs provide a glimpse
of working industrial infrastructure
- Conserve natural habitat

6. Open Space Planning
Re-thinking Newark - Working Landscape
Conclusion: Implementation
The working landscape proposal provides Newark an
opportunity to transform the unused and superfund sites
into a much needed recreational amenity. By connecting it
to a regional greenway network in the future it would not
only bene t Newark residents but also people outside
Newark.

12. GIS/CAD Mapping
Emergency Preparedness Plan for Limerick Nuclear Powerplant using
GIS Application
Limerick Generating Station is located in southeastern Pennsylvania, about 20 miles northwest of Philadelphia in Mont-
gomery County. The power plant consists of two reactor units - the rst reactor unit was activated in 1986 and the second
was activated in 1990. Utility companies, in this case – Exelon, are granted a 40-year operating license to use the nuclear
facility. In some cases, these utility companies are granted a 20-year license extension – the current license expirations are
10/26/2024 (unit 1) and 06/22/2029 (unit 2).
