HR&A led a major planning and development effort for the District of Columbia's Office of City Planning, in partnership with city and federal agencies, to develop a short and long-term revitalization plan for the neighborhoods and waterfront along a ten-mile-stretch of the Anacostia River. HR&A managed the overall effort, which included a substantial public outreach process, economic analyses and a long-term implementation strategy for the plan. The firm's work led to the creation of the Anacostia Waterfront Corporation. The Anacostia Waterfront Initiative Framework Plan won the 2005 AIA Honor Award for Regional and Urban Design.
