Download and read online ebook Waterfronts in Post-Industrial Cities write by Richard Marshall. This book was released on 2004-01-14. Waterfronts in Post-Industrial Cities available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Most books on waterfronts deal with a relatively narrow collection of cities and projects; one might describe them as the 'top ten' list of waterfront revitalisation projects. For instance, Boston and Baltimore are now the stuff of waterfront redevelopment legend. Waterfronts in Post-Industrial Cities is a second generation waterfront publication which reflects on recent and contemporary developments. Amsterdam, Boston, Genoa, Sydney and Vancouver are successful examples of cities that faced considerable challenges in their revitalisation efforts. Bilbao, Havana, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Shanghai are contemporary examples that represent the emerging contexts for waterfront revitalisation today. Four themes form the basis of this book and provide a structure for considering particular aspects of waterfront redevelopment - connection to the waterfront, remaking the city image on the waterfront, port and city relations and the new waterfronts in historic cities. Broad issues that might be applicable to a variety of situations are dealt with alongside specific city case studies.

Download and read online ebook Transforming Urban Waterfronts write by Gene Desfor. This book was released on 2010-10-04. Transforming Urban Waterfronts available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In port cities around the world, waterfront development projects have been hailed both as spaces of promise and as crucial territorial wedges in twenty-first century competitive growth strategies. Frequently, these mega-projects have been intended to transform derelict docklands into communities of hope with sustainable urban economies—economies intended to both compete in and support globally-networked hierarchies of cities. This collection engages with major theoretical debates and empirical findings on the ways waterfronts transform and have been transformed in port-cities in North and South America, Europe, the Caribbean. It is organized around the themes of fixities (built environments, institutional and regulatory structures, and cultural practices) and flows (information, labor, capital, energy, and knowledge), which are key categories for understanding processes of change. By focusing on these fixities and flows, the contributors to this volume develop new insights for understanding both historical and current cases of change on urban waterfronts, those special areas of cities where land and water meet. As such, it will be a valuable resource for teaching faculty, students, and any audience interested in a broad scope of issues within the field of urban studies.

This book was released on 2004. Reconnection available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Urban waterfronts developed as areas of intense, industrial use. The water and its edge often became polluted to the point where they were toxic. Cities moved away from this environmental degradation by re-centering inland. After years of thinking of the waterfront as a contaminated, industrial area unfriendly to normal life, highways and other massive pieces of infrastructure were built, decisively separating city and water. Now, through the decentralization of industry, the shift from an industrial to a service economy, and general pressures of globalization, most large-scale industry and shipping has moved away from city centers. This has left behind industrial waterfront sites which are currently seen as areas in which to remake the post-industrial city. In order to create successful waterfront redevelopment projects, it is important to examine and facilitate connections that exist or should exist between the city and the water. The types of connections essential to waterfront development are the connection with the industrial past, the connection with the landscape, and connections within the fragmented city. Re-connection will ultimately lead to richer environments that help to sustain cities both socially and economically. Cleveland, Ohio is a city that typifies the problems of post-industrial cities. Through the exploration of this discussion of connections on a site bordering the Cuyahoga River, it will be possible to create a waterside community that both embraces the past industrial use and supports the struggling city.
