Waterfronts Revisited addresses the historical evolution of the
relationship between port and city and re-examines waterfront
development by looking at the urban territory and historical city
in their complexity and entirety. 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; its functions, spaces and forms. Using the
UNESCO recommendation for the "Historic Urban Landscape" as the
guiding concept and a tool for managing urban preservation and
change, this collection of essays illustrates solutions to issues
of globalisation, commercialization of space and commoditisation of
culture in waterfront development. Through sixteen selected case
studies, Editors Heleni Porfyriou and Marichela Sepe offer planners
and urban designers a broad spectrum of alternative solutions to
waterfront regeneration interventions and redevelopments,
addressing sustainability, regional cultural diversity, and the
debate between conservation and transformation.
