Fluid City traces the transformation of the urban waterfront of
Melbourne, the re-vitalization of the Yarra River waterfront,
Melbourne Docklands and Port Philip Bay. As the financial and
industrial centre of Australia, in the late nineteenth century,
Melbourne developed a new world exuberance. Yet the twentieth
century saw Melbourne suffering from a declining industrial and
economic base. The city in the 1980's was de-industrialising, and
the re-facing of the city to the water was a key urban strategy of
the 1980s and 90s and a catalyst for economic transformation. A
range of projects collectively transformed the image of Melbourne's
waterfront which has become the frontier for new forms of urban
planning, design and politics. On the waterfront the rules become
more fluid and create scope for the production of new forms of
economic, political and symbolic capital. The This book is a
thorough exploration of the complexity of place making on urban
waterfronts. Melbourne presents us with an experiment in a bold
undertaking and in its transformation we can see how the various
entities come together and the results can be seen in both success
and failure. city and to challenge singular ways of viewing the
city.
