The technical foundation for The Queen City Hub is partially built upon over fifty reports produced in the normal course of due diligence on Downtown development over the past decade. The full list of references is provided in Volume II of the plan. The Queen City Hub specifically owes a great deal to the predecessor plan produced by Hamilton Houston Lownie Architects PC, Wallace Roberts & Todd, and Hammer Siler George Associates (1999) for the City of Buffalo. That plan is available on the web at www.downtownbuffalo2002.org and has helped guide action over the past three years, demonstrating significant progress on most of the 18 projects it identifies as important to the achievement of that plan’s goals. Further debt is owed the initial draft of The Queen City Hub first published in April of 2002. The draft served as the basis for an additional year of review, implementation and refinement leading up to publication of The Queen City Hub.
