Waterfronts Revisited addresses the historical evolution of port cities and re-examines waterfront development. By identifying guiding values, urban patterns and typologies, and local needs and experiences, cities can break the isolation of the harbor by reconnecting it to the urban structure. Through sixteen selected case studies, this collection illustrates solutions to contemporary issues of globalisation, commercialization of space and commoditisation of culture in waterfront development by addressing sustainability, regional cultural diversity, and conservation versus transformation.

Abstract
Waterfronts Revisited addresses the historical evolution of port cities and re-examines waterfront development. By identifying guiding values, urban patterns and typologies, and local needs and experiences, cities can break the isolation of the harbor by reconnecting it to the urban structure. Through sixteen selected case studies, this collection illustrates solutions to contemporary issues of globalisation, commercialization of space and commoditisation of culture in waterfront development by addressing sustainability, regional cultural diversity, and conservation versus transformation.File in questo prodotto:
