This report was produced in the Fall 2021 “Future of the City” Studio group that was comprised of Master of City Planning Students at the Weitzman School of Design of the University of Pennsylvania.
The focus and goal of this report is to put forward a plan to reshape the Newark Liberty International Airport (Airport) and Dayton neighborhood into Newark’s Airport City - a mixed-use, economically robust neighborhood that leverages the airport’s success for the benefit of the entire city. Newark’s South Ward — an underinvested neighborhood to the west of the Airport — is the local community that will be a primary beneficiary of the project. The central idea is to combine of the initiatives and goals of the City and Airport, to create an airport that is “of” the city, not just “in” it.
