We believe that successful waterfronts begin with sound planning, time-tested urban design and an understanding that the water's edge belongs to the public. FBW has been guided by a single unifying vision since our founding: to secure an undeniably public waterfront park along NJ’s Hudson River – now and for generations to come. The Fund for a Better Waterfront (FBW) was founded on the belief that the waterfront belongs to the people. Since we began in 1990, we have been dedicated to our vision of a contiguous public park along the full length of Hoboken's Hudson River shoreline. We have achieved a large portion of that goal and are committed to its completion through a process of planning, advocacy and partnerships. We believe that Hoboken can be a beacon of smart urban design and inspiration for waterfront renewal worldwide.
