Celebrate the 20th anniversary of New York City's town square throughout 2012.
In 1992, Bryant Park Corporation (BPC) completed one of the world's most dramatic urban public space transformations. To combat the park's dangerous, run-down, and underused conditions, BPC implemented a dynamic overhaul that recreated the park as the thriving destination it is today. With more than 6 million annual visitors and hundreds of free events, programs, activities, and year-round amenities, Bryant Park is now the global model for public spaces.
