This book addresses issues that waterfronts face in small
Mediterranean port towns due to increases in the tourism industry.
Integrating theory and pragmatic approaches, Waterfront Design in
Small Port Towns proposes a design matrix which can go on to be
implemented in waterfronts globally. The demand for a sustainable
regeneration of the urban waterfront is constantly growing and
represents the ultimate challenge to preserve and value the
uniqueness of the region and to activate an overall redevelopment
of small port towns. To understand these issues, Waterfront Design
in Small Port Towns contains an in-depth investigation of the
cultural and environmental assets and spatial socio-economic
factors of the urban waterfront. This is conducted through the
author's original methodological framework, the Waterfront Design
Matrix, which responds to the specific scales and idiosyncrasies of
the archetypical waterfront. The methodological and theoretical
approach developed in the book can be applied to different
geographical locations and countries, presenting comparable
characteristics. This book is an ideal read for professionals and
students alike with an interest in urban design and planning.
