Book excerpt: Proceedings of a symposium at the ASCE Convention, held in Boston, Massachusetts, October 28-30, 1986. Sponsored by the Urban Planning and Development Division of ASCE. This collection contains 15 papers on waterfront planning and development. These papers present an all-inclusive picture of waterfront development from the idea stage, to the public rights established by the Public Trust Doctrine, to the federal, state and local units of government responsibilities, to the balance between private and public interests, to the incorporation of visual design and to actual case studies. Papers represent the concerns of the general public, permitting agencies, and those involved in the actual development and construction of waterfront projects. The location of projects include Boston, Massachusetts; Seattle, Washington; Norfolk, Virginia; Port of New York/New Jersey; Los Angeles, California; Providence, Rhode Island; Toledo, Ohio; Jacksonville, Florida; Middletown, Connecticut; and Racine, Wisconsin. Papers were written by professionals in the fields of law, engineering, planning, architecture, financing and economics--a complete spectrum of professional responsibility for waterfront planning and development.

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 Handbook of Waterfront Cities and Urbanism by : Mohammed Mahbubur Rahman
Download or read book Handbook of Waterfront Cities and Urbanism written by Mohammed Mahbubur Rahman and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-29 with total page 643 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Waterfront Cities and Urbanism is the first resource to address cities’ transformations of their coastlines and riverbanks and the resulting effects on environment, culture, and identity in a genuinely global context. Spanning cities from Gdańsk to Georgetown, this reference for design, development, and planning explores the transition of waterfronts from industrial and port zones to crowd-drawing urban spectacles within the frameworks of urban development, economics, ecology, governance, globalization, preservation, and sustainability. A collection of contextual studies, local perspectives, project reviews, and analyses of evolution and emerging trends provides critical insight into the phenomenon of waterfront development and urbanism in cities from the East to the West. Features: Explores the transformation of waterfronts from industrial hubs to urban playgrounds through the lenses of preservation, governance, economics, ecology, and more. Presents chapter-length case studies drawn from cities in China, Bangladesh, Turkey, the United States, Malaysia, the European Union, Egypt, and other countries. Includes contributions from an interdisciplinary team of international scholars and professionals, a much-needed corrective to the historical exclusion of researchers and issues from the Global South. An ideal reference for graduate students, scholars, and professionals in urban planning, architecture, geography, and history, the Handbook of Waterfront Cities and Urbanism deserves to be on the shelf of urban authorities and any internationally minded academic or practitioner in real estate development, water management, preservation, or tourism.
Book Synopsis Planning a Just City by : Nufar Avni

Book excerpt: "This dissertation explores how social justice is negotiated in urban redevelopment projects, and it investigates what actors, strategies and factors are at play in creating more socially just redevelopment outcomes. The projects selected for case studies are waterfront redevelopments. Waterfronts are suitable sites for the investigation of social justice issues due to the presence of economic, social, cultural, and environmental forces that operate together in these symbolic and contested space. On the one hand, waterfront redevelopments typically create opportunities for social and environmental justice by means of high-quality public spaces and proximity to nature. On the other hand, they often result in high-end developments that potentially exclude large numbers of residents from the revitalized space and inscribe certain values and memories over others in the urban landscape. By analyzing cases of waterfront redevelopments that involve racial or ethnic, environmental and economic conflicts, this research addresses the following questions: 1) How is social justice addressed in waterfront redevelopment plans? 2) What processes and factors enable planners to achieve social justice goals in waterfront redevelopment projects? 3) How might social justice considerations be more effectively integrated into and operationalized in waterfront redevelopments? From a theoretical perspective, this research builds on theories of social justice and the city, as well as on a large body of literature on waterfront redevelopments. I perform in-depth case studies of three recent waterfront redevelopments: Tel-Aviv- Jaffa and Washington, D.C: a) the redevelopment of the Jaffa port, b) the Anacostia waterfront Initiative, and c) the 11th Street Bridge Park. In both Tel-Aviv-Jaffa and Washington, D.C., racial, environmental, and economic inequalities have been central to waterfront redevelopment plans. Yet the redevelopment of these areas demonstrate some level of commitment to social justice in their visions and plans. . In each case I draw on policy documents, master plans, public media stories, visual and participant observations, and interviews with over 45 key stakeholders (planning officials, developers, community representatives, and NGO leaders) to sketch out the process that led to the current redevelopment project. I pay particular attention to the implications of development on social justice in these projects: Who are the 'winners and who are the 'losers'? What is considered "just" by planners and by the community, and are there differences in their approaches? What strategies did actors use to advance social equity? The research yields various insights with regard to waterfront redevelopments, social justice and urban planning. First, while plans for the three projects explicitly address issues of social justice, demands for social justice get watered down in the implementation process. Second, much of the success or failure in delivering socially just results rests on the ability of particular individuals to advance certain goals. Leadership is a significant component of urban policy and more emphasis should be placed on urban leaders--politicians, planners or other public servants--and their role in pursuing social justice. Third, the discussion on justice in planning must extend beyond the arena of urban planners. Urban planners carry great responsibility for redevelopment, yet among potential urban leaders, they are perhaps most limited in their actions by policy constrains and governance structures. Fourth, achievements in the struggle for social justice in planning is greatly dependent on the agency of civilian groups in advancing their interests and securing benefits. Finally, I suggest that notwithstanding the usefulness of a 'social justice' lens, future examination of urban justice would benefit from a fourfold perspective that includes social, economic, environmental, and identity aspects of justice.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores potentialities and emerging issues to strategies and waterside planning and design, developing research results and detailed cases of interest in response to city change, to promote sustainable development in a variety of ways. It seeks to include some key waterfront matters in linking new spatial patterns to social dynamics and climate change, for future practice. The book is structuring into two parts: The first one – ‘Advancing Riverfront Transformation’ – examines proposals on urban waterfronts and relations between urban spaces and social dynamics to revitalise and re-appropriate urban environment with sustainable design solutions. The second one – ‘Outlining Blue-Green Opportunities’ – develops proposals on waterfront urban spaces and places with promotion of sociability and enjoyment, integrating cultural and economic values, health and wellbeing.
Book Synopsis Activating Urban Waterfronts by : Quentin Stevens
Download or read book Activating Urban Waterfronts written by Quentin Stevens and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-14 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Activating Urban Waterfronts shows how urban waterfronts can be designed, managed and used in ways that can make them more inclusive, lively and sustainable. The book draws on detailed examination of a diversity of waterfronts from cities across Europe, Australia and Asia, illustrating the challenges of connecting these waterfront precincts to the surrounding city and examining how well they actually provide connection to water. The book challenges conventional large scale, long-term approaches to waterfront redevelopment, presenting a broad re-thinking of the formats and processes through which urban redevelopment can happen. It examines a range of actions that transform and activate urban spaces, including informal appropriations, temporary interventions, co-design, creative programming of uses, and adaptive redevelopment of waterfronts over time. It will be of interest to anyone involved in the development and management of waterfront precincts, including entrepreneurs, the creative industries, community organizations, and, most importantly, ordinary users.
