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.
