Book Synopsis Urban Waterfront Promenades by : Elizabeth Macdonald
Download or read book Urban Waterfront Promenades written by Elizabeth Macdonald and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some cities have long-treasured waterfront promenades, many cities have recently built ones, and others have plans to create them as opportunities arise. Beyond connecting people with urban water bodies, waterfront promenades offer many social and ecological benefits. They are places for social gathering, for physical activity, for relief from the stresses of urban life, and where the unique transition from water to land eco-systems can be nurtured and celebrated. The best are inclusive places, welcoming and accessible to diverse users. This book explores urban waterfront promenades worldwide. It presents 38 promenade case studies—as varied as Vancouver’s extensive network that has been built over the last century, the classic promenades in Rio de Janeiro, the promenades in Stockholm’s recently built Hammarby Sjöstad eco-district, and the Ma On Shan promenade in the Hong Kong New Territories—analyzing their physical form, social use, the circumstances under which they were built, the public policies that brought them into being, and the threats from sea level rise and the responses that have been made. Based on wide research, Urban Waterfront Promenades examines the possibilities for these public spaces and offers design and planning approaches useful for professionals, community decision-makers, and scholars. Extensive plans, cross sections, and photographs permit visual comparison.
Book Synopsis Transforming Urban Waterfronts by : Gene Desfor
Download or read book Transforming Urban Waterfronts written by Gene Desfor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-10-04 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis Waterfront Regeneration by : Harry Smith
Download or read book Waterfront Regeneration written by Harry Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waterfront regeneration and development represents a unique opportunity to spatially and visually alter cities worldwide. However, its multi-faceted nature entails city-building with all its complexity including the full range of organizations involved and how they interact. This book examines how more inclusive stakeholder involvement has been attempted in the nine cities that took part in the European Union funded Waterfront Communities Project. It focuses on analyzing the experience of creating new public realms through city-building activities. These public realms include negotiation arenas in which different discourses meet and are created – including those of planners, urban designers and architects, politicians, developers, landowners and community groups – as well as physical environments where the new city districts' public life can take place, drawing lessons for waterfront regeneration worldwide. The book opens with an introduction to waterfront regeneration and then provides a framework for analyzing and comparing waterfront redevelopments, which is followed by individual case study chapters highlighting specific topics and issues including land ownership and control, decision making in planning processes, the role of planners in public space planning, visions for waterfront living, citizen participation, design-based waterfront developments, a social approach to urban waterfront regeneration and successful place making. Significant findings include the difficulty of integrating long term 'sustainability' into plans and the realization that climate change adaptation needs to be explicitly integrated into regeneration planning. The transferable insights and ideas in this book are ideal for practising and student urban planners and designers working on developing plans for long-term sustainable waterfront regeneration anywhere in the world.

Book Synopsis Beyond Boundaries by : Alexander Constantine Van Praagh
Download or read book Beyond Boundaries written by Alexander Constantine Van Praagh and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waterfront cities have historically evolved through conditions generated by reciprocity between water and landscape. Just as water gives form to the natural landscape, it provokes form in the built environment. Today the relationship has become less apparent. The intention of this thesis is to explore the reintegration of a city with its waterfront through the building of public space and access. This thesis proposes a design as an investigation of the following: -- how spatial and visual access between inland and waterfront public places can enrich one's experience and understanding of a city -- how waterfront structures and built landscape can intensify the exchange between land and water -- how pier and warehouse vocabulary may be transformed and reinterpreted; and finally -- how programmatic balance of public and private, utilitarian and commercial developments may help to redefine and revitalize an urban waterfront.

Book excerpt: The common urban waterfront is hardly approachable, much less swimmable, encrusted with wharves, switching yards, sewage out-jalls and other barnacles. It is the true civic outcast, the ghetto of ghettos, familiar only to longshoremen, sanitary engineers and carp. -- THE WATERFRONT. After World War II, a number of factors came together to affect the urban waterfront. Subsequently, these factors lead to the demise, and later the waterfront redevelopment phenomena of our time. In the 1940's, the United States led the world in a series of technological innovations in Port design and industry. Most pertinent to the urban waterfront was the introduction of the container system which revolutionized the shipping industry, much to the expense of the urban waterfront. Soon after its introduction, the container system became the benchmark system in Port technology rendering the traditional "break bulk" dock facilities obsolete. With this systemic change also came a set of infra structural requirements. Container ports require large, new spaces, plus more acreage for backup space as well as deeper and wider channels for the ships. In addition, they also require access to transportation and infrastructure, rendering the existing industrial warehouses and their waterfront rail networks useless. As a result, many urban waterfronts became deserted industrial compounds functioning neither as a viable port for industry nor as a waterfront to the city. At approximately the same time, America's entire pattern of settlement began to shift in the 1950's away from central cities to suburban sprawl. Consequently, vast amounts of urban waterfront land became available, relatively cheaply without dislocating current users. One of the first uses for these abandoned shoreline areas was to aid the burgeoning highway system. As the highway system took hold in the city's infrastructure, the city and the waterfront became alienated entities. Since the formation of the city as an inhabitable entity, the waterfront has played a key role in its development and its sustenance. Within the context of urban life the waterfront can become a pause or reconnection to serenity, vital to restoring a sense calm to the city's inhabitants. Modem waterfronts should become a "center" of sorts favoring public interests over industry and private enterprise. In this arena, the task of urban design is to provide the necessary interface between the city's core and its periphery therefore engaging the life of the city of the pulse of the people. With respect to this philosophy, this Thesis attempts to provide an interface between the city's core and its periphery.
