Full textAbstract:
Historical preservation is important to protect significant historic resources from destruction and inappropriate changes. Urban waterfronts are unique cultural resources that have its own identity, represent the lifestyle of surrounding communities. Over the years, the activities along the waterfront have changed along with city development, resulting in the loss of sense of place. In recent years, the agenda of preservation the cultural value of waterfront areas has been a research focus among the civil society and NGOs. However, in the midst of rapid development, this aspect is often overlooked and deteriorates the historical values of the place. At the same time, the quality of life of waterfront communities is also affected. This conceptual paper is a call for a set of actions to ensure that historical values at these places are protected. Through content analysis from previous literature reviews, this paper investigates how regeneration of historic waterfronts can help in preserving sense of place and improve the quality of life among waterfront communities. Findings from the literature revealed that contextual integration is important for successful redevelopment of historic waterfronts in order to preserve their sense of place.

Full textAbstract:
Despite little research of them, the landscapes of Slender West Lake underpin a significant and unique typology among the various Chinese traditional urban waterfronts. Although the name ‘Gardens of Yangzhou’ appears in 11th century, these gardens were referred and used as urban public landscape from the 18th century because of Grand Canal. The article explores the organic evolution of Chinese traditional urban waterfronts, through an investigation of historical events occurring along with the landscapes of Slender West Lake. As a Chinese traditional urban waterfront, its organic evolution was often based on the transformation of the experience of landscape. When the trip was more based on the river because of boats, the edge of the garden has become the focus point.

A Case Study in Nanjing Reach of Yangtze River." ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information 10, no. 9 (September 15, 2021): 611. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/ijgi10090611.
Full textAbstract:
The potential of urban waterfronts as vibrant urban spaces has become a focus of urban studies in recent years. However, few studies have examined the relationships between urban vitality and built environment characteristics in urban waterfronts. This study takes advantage of emerging urban big data and adopts hourly Baidu heat map (BHM) data as a proxy for portraying urban vitality along the Yangtze River in Nanjing. The impact of built environment on urban vitality in urban waterfronts is revealed with the ordinary least squares (OLS) and geographically weighted regression (GWR) models. The results show that (1) the distribution of urban vitality in urban waterfronts shows similar agglomeration characteristics on weekdays and weekends, and the identified vibrant cores tend to be the important city and town centers; (2) the building density has the strongest positive associations with urban vitality in urban waterfronts, while the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is negative; (3) the effects of the built environment on urban vitality in urban waterfronts have significant spatial variations. Our findings can provide meaningful guidance and implications for vitality-oriented urban waterfronts planning and redevelopment.

Full textAbstract:
Monitoring water movement toward production wells through downhole measurements of self-potential (SP) is a promising new technology. However, there are uncertainties about its applicability in heterogeneous, multilayered reservoirs. Using numerical modeling, we investigated the likely magnitude and behavior of SP during oil production supported by water injection in two different models of such reservoirs. We found that the magnitude of the SP signal that would be measured along a production well increased as water approached the well, exceeding an assumed noise level of 0.1 mV before water breakthrough. We also found that, in the reservoir models tested, the maximum value of SP at the well skewed toward the fastest waterfront before water breakthrough. The trend of SP increasing at the well with time, together with the shape of the SP profile, were the prime indicators used to investigate water movement. In the reservoir models tested, before water breakthrough the fastest approaching waterfront could be detected approximately 20 m away from the well. However, subsequent waterfronts approaching the well in other layers could not be detected before breakthrough. The effect of these later waterfronts on the SP profile at the well was only detectable at breakthrough. We attributed this to the fact that the SP generated in these layers is masked by the high SP created by the fastest waterfront. Our findings emphasized the importance of an enhanced understanding of reservoir geology and rock electrical properties for better prediction and interpretation of SP.

Full textAbstract:
During the last two decades urban redevelopment of waterfronts has accelerated. The historical significance of these areas coupled with their unique visual amenities has resulted in major renewal efforts in many cities. The competition between the waterway navigation industry and redevelopment interests for scarce waterfront land has resulted in conflicts. Congestion along the access routes to existing ports and terminals has affected the efficient movement of goods to and from the waterfront. The results of an investigation into waterfront redevelopment issues and port and terminal landside-access conflicts are presented. There are many complex forces at work that affect the use of and access to waterfront land. Some of these forces are economic and involve uses of the waterfront that are the “best and highest,” one example of which is river-boat gaming. The surveys and case studies conducted identified many conflicts that have occurred. Guidelines have been developed that address some of the problems that arise during the development of waterfront development projects and planning of adequate transportation access. Application of these guidelines by waterway transportation interests, urban planners, transportation engineers, and community officials may alleviate some of the conflict and enhance the planning process.

Full textAbstract:
In the mid-nineteenth century, San Franciscans transformed a muddy cove and trading outpost into an American town and then global port. In their rush to build a port and a city, they created a socially, politically, and materially unstable foundation for their rapidly growing urban waterfront. This article argues that the development and growth of early San Francisco cannot be understood apart from its waterfront in general and its role as a port in particular, contributing to a relatively small literature on the relationship between cities and their ports in urban history. Tracing the legal contests over the tidelands, material construction of piers, rise of a vice district, and clashes with vigilante justice, this article examines the creation of San Francisco as a gateway city. It suggests how historians might recover the dynamic, entangled, and at times violent histories hidden beneath the sediments of time along all urban commercial waterfronts.

Full textAbstract:
Between 1860 and 1914, three to four million people passed along Durban’s waterfronts, most travelling to or from an industrialising hinterland that a colonial gatekeeper called a ‘Mecca for aliens.’ This article explores mass migration through Durban and the changes the phenomenon brought to the social world and built environments around the lagoon that forms today’s large container port. Using Immigration, Harbour Department and Water Police archives, it shows how the lagoon, until the mid-nineteenth century an obscure outlier in the Indian Ocean World, became deeply integrated with processes simultaneously underway across much of maritime Asia. After an introduction that places colonial Durban alongside the wider changes common to many Indian-Ocean ports, we set the scene with an overview of the lagoon’s deep precolonial past. The core argument then moves through several phases. First, economic and technological developments from the 1850s, designed to inflate cargo capacity, also intensified transoceanic migrant traffic. This generated a rich cultural heterogeneity on the lagoon’s fringes. Second, mass migration fueled a backlash among colonial authorities, who built an elaborate architecture of detention and surveillance around the inner shore. Third, some migrants subverted the new order by ‘jumping ship’ in creative ways, ensuring the waterfronts remained, for a time, unruly heterotopia. In these ways, Durban became a characteristic Indian Ocean port city. But Durban authorities introduced an unusual element: to the north they created a recreational beachfront for settler elites. This ultimately reorientated the city’s waterfront away from the lagoon to the open ocean, casting the former’s social history into the shadows.

Full textAbstract:
In China, Shanghai often serves as a place to introduce and try out new ideas. This is certainly the case with experimental urban planning and design solutions and sustainability transitions. This article identifies and evaluates the role of pilot projects and demonstration zones along the Huangpu River. These clusters and zones are supposed to guide the urban regeneration of the former industrial waterfronts and to accelerate innovative development in Shanghai and the wider Yangtze Delta Region. The Huangpu River as a whole is considered an urban lab and a showcase of ecological civilisation policies, with a strong ‘people oriented’ focus on improving the overall quality and attractiveness of urban life. Following three decades of rapid urban expansion, Shanghai’s urban development model is shifting toward one that emphasizes densification and the reuse of existing elements. The motto of Shanghai’s latest master plan is “Striving for an Excellent Global City.” One of the pathways to realize this expectation is the creation of thematic clusters for creative industries, financial institutes, AI, and technology, media and telecommunication industries. These clusters are high-density investment projects meant to support and accelerate the transformation of Shanghai into a service economy. There are important similarities between these projects in Shanghai and the role of urban labs in theories of sustainability transitions. Drawing on these theories and those of ecological civilization, this article examines how these so-called ‘experimental’ urban megaprojects along the river contribute to Shanghai’s effort to take the lead in developing sustainable urban transitions.

Full textAbstract:
This paper analyzes the different roots of current residential high-rise clusters emerging in new city districts along the coast of Bahrain’s capital city Manama, and the resulting urban planning and design challenges. Since the local real-estate markets were liberalized in Bahrain in 2003, the population grew rapidly to more than one million inhabitants. Consequently, the housing demand increased rapidly due to extensive immigration. Many residential developments were however constructed for the upper spectrum of the real-estate market, due to speculative tendencies causing a raise in land value. The emerging high-rise clusters are developed along the various waterfronts of Manama on newly reclaimed land. This paper explores the spatial consequences of the recent boom in construction boom and the various challenges for architects and urban planners to enhance urban qualities.

Full textAbstract:
Extensive urbanization around the world has resulted in the consumption of massive vegetated areas and natural resources. To this end, one strategy for urban development is to consolidate urban areas. In Balneário Camboriú/SC, Brazil, this trend has transformed the city into a vertical built-up area on its coastal strip, accommodating a large amount of buildings both in terms of quantity and number of floors. This research aims to quantify the thermo-hygrometric fluctuation on the waterfront of Balneário Camboriú, in negative radiation balance. To acquire the data on air temperature (Ta) and relative humidity (RH), two mobile transects and measuring at two fixed points were made in a situation of negative radiation balance on 26 August 2019, in the winter period of the Southern Hemisphere. The collection work began at 06:00:00 a.m. (before sunrise, the peak of the negative radiation balance), on Atlântica Avenue (waterfront) and Brasil Avenue (parallel to the waterfront). It was verified that the Ta varied from 16.0 °C to 19.0 °C, and the RH remained over 80% during the entire route. At the meteorological shelters, the temperature presented a variation from 14.4 °C to 17.7 °C, and the RH ranged from 79.6% to 91.3% between the two points. The spatial variability in the Ta and RH along the paths travelled and at the fixed points is directly related to the land cover, represented especially by the buildings’ verticalization and data collection time.

Full textAbstract:
Local and regional patterns and qualities of form and topos are central to placemaking
and imageability of a city. These qualities can support, enrich and dictate the
functions, events and experience of place that are expressive and appropriate to
that region. This idea is from both critical regionalism and the general notion that in
great places, form and activities share a logical symbiosis with the landscape.
The current planning approach for future development and design at Vancouver's
waterfront does not fully capitalize on the qualities of landscape and its tremendous
inherent opportunities for programming and design. As an alternate approach to
locating future development, this project examines the regional landscape patterns
and qualities of form and topos along the waterfront as a framework for locating new
development opportunities along the waterfront.
The landscape framework identifies six key landforms along the waterfront: the promontory,
peninsula, escarpment, bay, narrows and inlet. Each landform is described
through the use of the preposition and its 'role' in the City determined from this description.
For example, a promontory and peninsula are prominent, locative features,
described as out, above, and in front of. Located along a passage, its role is a landmark
for navigation, a transportation node, lookout, historic marker, place for public
art, etc.
A concept design for a gateway to False Creek in Hadden Park is generated to demonstrate
how the landscape framework is applied. Positioned at the entrance to False
Creek and on a promontory, the park's strong association with the water and role as
a 'gateway' within the City is a great place for a Boater Community and Welcome
Centre. The concept design builds on the promontory as a main axis, extends public
activities outward onto, the water, marks the gateway and creates a major public
water transportation node. The landform and its landscape appropriate design becomes
an imageable reference point within the City, hosts new public activities and
generates additional meaning along the waterfront.
Landscape based framework as a planning approach to future waterfront development
ensures that key places within the City (for instance, viewpoints, landmarks,
gateways, etc.) are marked and recognized. It provides a stronger link to Vancouver's
regional identity, imageability within the urban fabric, and sense of place with exciting
and meaningful opportunities.Applied Science, Faculty of

As an important natural resource, urban watercourses have a close relationship with urban development, such as significant connectivity, ecological values and recreational opportunities. Unfortunately, conservation and development of urban waterfronts have not received sufficient attention in many cities in China. Rapid urban development in China has led to decrease in urban watercourses, degradation of urban riparian areas and water pollution. This work focuses on
strategies for developing waterfront areas along Sanjiao Lake, Xinmin River and Taizi Lake which is located in Wuhan Economic Development Zone, China.

Full textAbstract:
Stockholm is an archipelago of islands connected by water that historically has been an important resource for the city and for the industries, which found an easy access for ships and therefore they settled on strategic positions along the edges. This thesis investigates the topics of water, industrial heritage and edges in the city of Stockholm: these aspects are strong in their individual identity but they also interact in a powerful and interesting way. This work intervenes where this pattern is still visible -due to the presence of water and industries- but not accessible because it lacks the third element of connection with the city. The aim is therefore to investigate strategies that increase and reconnect the potential of these aspects that got disconnected through time. To obtain accessibility and usability, the edge was transformed and redefined to enhance the experience of walking along it. An analysis was carried out and a proposal was designed for the site of Lövholmen, which has these characteristics -the water, a strong industrial heritage and proximity to the city- that are now disconnected. The opening of the edge and possibilities of walking will transform and reconnect the site - and the richness in it- with the city of Stockholm.

This research takes an urban political ecology approach in studying vicissitudes of waterfront agriculture on Xin-Dian River by elaborating the social and environmental powers among this area, and is aiming to reveal the mechanism and unevenness of power relationship behind the process. Agriculture, as a section of urban nature as well, however has been taken as an illegal and backward landscape under the recreational and eco-educational tendency of urban waterfront redevelopment. On the contrary, due to the advocacy of health and greenness become more and more thriving, urban farming has been gradually revival in many ways. For example, urban gardens and farmer markets have become a major symbol of sustainable city and Bourgeois recreations. To understand the context, this research applies methods of field research, depth interview, and analysis of historical documents and maps. With the understanding of variant appropriations on the waterfront of Xing-Dian River during different regimes, we can learn the fact that the disposition of waterfront agriculture have altered according to the different policies. And these policies may be determined by governmental, economic, social, or flood control considerations. Under the recreational trends, the original waterfront farming has been expelled repetitively. In order to survive, the waterfront farmers have to develop many strategies to adapt the unfriendly policies. The original farming activities have been identified as illegal by the municipal government who is continually setting stricter rules, thus the farmers turn into “guerrilla” mode to seek sustainment, and move their operation into more marginal or hidden places. Therefore, we can indicate that the forms and meanings of waterfront agriculture are constructed by political and economic influences throughout different periods. And the public parks, bicycle trails, flower markets, and ecological education park all represent the modern value of urban nature which meets the imaginations of the middle class residents. This kind of appropriations for waterfront embodies the discourse of specific human-nature relationship, and itself exactly reflects the lack of awareness of the community of original waterfront farmers and their historical context. The modern environmentalist discourse may put emphasis on agricultural usage as a sustainable human-natural interaction, but its nostalgic rhetoric romanticizes the advocacy and greatly turns the urban farming into some sort of Bourgeois urbanite’s life style. More importantly, the above-mentioned process is highly exclusive, it spontaneously defines the traditional farming subjects as unrighteous and illegal for environment’s sake, and always demands for further elimination of unqualified practices. Besides recreational and preservationist purposes, the author suggests that the open space of waterfront should be opened to make-a-living agriculture as an alternative usage.

The coastline is divided in 3 sections: beaches; dunes; waterfronts. The coastline defines a territory complex, where natural and human activities intertwine shaping the places. Relationship between man and nature determines environmental criticizes increasing, requiring strategic intervention with a holistic-integrated vision. Progressive urbanization has produced stiffening of coastline and questioning of ecological cycles.

This chapter talks about the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, which connected Buffalo and New York City although they are almost four hundred miles apart. It explains how the canal, which was built to create a navigable east–west waterway from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean, transformed New York into what became known as the Empire State during the nineteenth century. It also mentions cities of the East Coast and Great Lakes, midwestern farmlands, and Canadian, British, and European port cities where industries soon settled along the thriving waterfronts of Buffalo and New York, making them prosperous centers for manufacturing and trade. The chapter recounts the construction of the interstate highway system, the Saint Lawrence Seaway, that rendered the Erie Canal completely obsolete by the 1950s. It illustrates how Buffalo and New York City struggled to rebuild in the post-industrial era.

This chapter describes how and why Antonine London came to be characterized by an architecture of domestic luxury. This was evidenced by large private houses laid out around several wings with porticoes, dining rooms, and heated private baths, and decorated with mosaic pavements and painted walls sometimes referencing Bacchic iconography. These designs materialized an educated paideia that drew on Hellenistic ideas, perhaps under the influence of the philosophies of the Second Sophistic. These ideas may have first found architectural expression in London in the Hadrianic period, but were more characteristic of the Antonine city. London’s wealth sustained a local demand for imported goods, whilst the waterfronts where these were landed were also busy at times of military campaigns. Several Romano-Celtic temples were built c. AD 165, including one dedicated to Mars Camulus. Imposing mausolea were built within walled cemeteries along the main road into town. These temples and tombs formed a monumental landscape adapted to the religious and funerary processions through the city.

This chapter describes how, at the end of the 1840s, New York was responsible for half the U.S. imports and a third of U.S. exports. Alexander Stewart had a lot to do with this. In 1846 he opened his Marble Palace on Broadway, and set a new standard for merchants. As more people flocked to the city, the roadways became crowded. To deal with the increase in foot and vehicle traffic into the city, there was a growing need for hotels. Food preparation also boomed in the city. Oysters were a New York staple, oyster harvesting developed into a big business, and oyster cellars lining the city’s streets beckoned customers. The arrival of California gold further spurred New York's economy. Throughout, workers filled the shoreline and extended the land, harbor construction continued at a furious clip, and new docks and piers stretched into the rivers. With so much activity, businessmen needed to know what was going on, so papers such as the New York Sun and the New York Herald ran news, social notices, crime reports, gossip, accounts of slave conspiracies, and literature, along with ads for everything from ship dockings to auctions for house sales.

This chapter recounts how the author became an evangelist for floating pools by the end of the 1990s. It mentions plans for twenty-five major projects by 1986 that went before the New Jersey Waterfront Commission for approval, from Fort Lee on the north of Hoboken to Bayonne eighteen miles to the south. It also talks about proposals that included parks, marinas, and a continuous waterfront walkway along the west side of the Hudson River. The chapter details how the author won a $25,000 grant from the New York Community Trust to do a feasibility study for the floating project, which in turn brought her to architect Jonathan Kirschenfeld's office to seek his professional help.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter describes extensive rebuilding along London’s Severan waterfront. The first phase is tentatively associated with preparations for Clodius Albinus’ naval expedition to Gaul that was launched from Britain. The second is more certainly associated with the reoccupation of Britain by Severus’ general Virius Lupus in AD 197, for which precise tree-ring dating is available. Subsequent enhancements are likely to date to a phase of busy rebuilding c. AD 215/220, which may also be the approximate date of London’s masonry town wall. These various works were associated with busy traffic between Britain and the continent at times of major campaigns, the conduct of which required the revival of the city. The Severan renewal of London also included temples and other monuments arranged along the undefended waterfront. It is suggested that some of these works were the product of imperial patronage at the time of administrative reforms made by Caracalla on the conclusion of Severus’ Scottish wars. This was when Britain was subdivided into two separate provinces. London was made capital of Britannia Superior and perhaps elevated to the status of colonia following similar arrangements made for York as the capital of Britannia Inferior. The new town wall and temples are interpreted as the monumental expression of London’s revived role as a city of importance to the Roman government of Britain. The architectural details of these monuments are also described.

This chapter focuses on events after the collapse of the North Tower. Minutes after the pulverized remnants of 1 World Trade Center settled out of the air along Manhattan's western shore, mariners started evacuating people. Many people caught up in the unfolding catastrophe also had the duty of protecting children. Parents, teachers, daycare workers, and sitters were all forced to navigate their way through the danger while simultaneously soothing their frightened charges. Although they could not stop the planes from crashing or buildings from falling, people from all quarters rose up and stepped forward to provide whatever assistance they could. All along New Jersey's North River waterfront, emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics, administrators and doctors, firefighters and police were working to establish and supply triage centers. Instrumental to their efforts were ordinary citizens helping every way they could. Personnel from nearby hospitals, medical centers, and emergency management offices worked with fire department and hazmat crews to establish makeshift facilities to decontaminate, assess, treat, and direct evacuees to different transit options. Their efforts were supported by the contributions made by employees of local businesses, among others.

Full textAbstract:
In most of the cases, canal network in Greater Colombo region work as the drainage system of the urban area and as the backyard of the city. Therefore, there is a lack of attention to the canal waterfronts by the government and by the public. Hence, this research was to find out and evaluate the factors, which will affect the quality of life of people along urban canal waterfronts. It has been discussed in terms of liveability through a series of carefully selected indicators. Liveability surveys were conducted along five canal waterfronts and the participants’ perceptions were taken. Every canal waterfront was assigned a rating of over 25 qualitative and quantitative factors (set of indicators) across six broad categories (dimensions): safety, comfort, health and wellbeing, mobility, environment, and socio-cultural factors. Each qualitative factor was given a rating from 1(tolerable)-5(intolerable). Qualitative factors were then combined with quantitative factors through a series of equations to form the liveability index. According to the proposed liveability index, transport dimension index is ideal (100), while the health and well-being dimension is the lowest (27). This will help for the creation of government policies, plans, rules and regulations and when implementing projects along urban canal waterfronts.

Full textAbstract:
Coastal Artillery Regiment (RAC) is a unit of the Portuguese Army with the mission of guaranteeing the coastal defense of the ports of Lisbon and Setúbal. The set consists of fixed, secret, camouflaged and fortified batteries, installed along the entrance to the Sado and Tejo rivers. The structures are equipped with heavy artillery pieces. RAC was deactivated in 1998 and its archive was recently declassified. In times of technological advances, there is an inevitable change in the paradigm of military architecture. Technically obsolete structures have fallen into extinction. These territorial voids must be discussed in the inevitable territory reorganization. Should they display archeology or just be absorbed by surroundings? How to deal with post-military heritage? And lastly, how can we deal and operate in such a territorial resilience example, in a way to take profit from this particular long extension of waterfront regarding Climate Emergency. Present paper is a result within two main research projects: “SOSClimateWaterfront” (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) program) and “Bunker architecture from mid 20th century and the post military Portuguese classified heritage” project. In this sense proposes a active research that means an accurate research about Portuguese bunkers and around military areas together with the discussion around the possible use of these areas as resilience areas to climate improvement within waterfronts around Lisbon.

Container yards tend to be located along waterfronts that are exposed to high risk of storm surges. However, risk assessment tools such as vulnerability functions and risk maps for containers have not been sufficiently developed. In addition, damage due to storm surges is expected to increase owing to global warming. This paper aims to assess storm surge impact due to global warming for containers located at three major bays in Japan. First, we developed vulnerability functions for containers against storm surges using an engineering approach. Second, we simulated storm surges at three major bays using the SuWAT model and taking global warming into account. Finally, we developed storm surge risk maps for containers based on current and future situations using the vulnerability function and simulated inundation depth. As a result, we revealed the impact of global warming on storm surge risks for containers quantitatively.

Full textAbstract:
Afrontar los retos que plantea el proceso acelerado de urbanización que han venido experimentando las ciudades latinoamericanas en las últimas décadas, mediante una planificación metropolitana basada en infraestructuras verdes, se perfila como una estrategia prioritaria. La creación de parques lineales junto a los cauces y costas es, no sólo sostenible y muy beneficiosa desde los puntos de vista social y ambiental, sino también una estrategia viable y sostenible económicamente en el tiempo, tal y como se demuestra en la regeneración del frente costero de Rosario (Argentina). Mediante el estudio de un caso real se pretende aportar evidencia sobre la idea de que priorizar las operaciones en corredores fluviales y frentes costeros es viable aquí y ahora en el contexto latinoamericano, y que esta priorización puede tener efectos sinérgicos que reviertan las tendencias de degradación urbana que afectan a un gran número de ciudades de la región. Metropolitan planning based on green infrastructure is emerging as a strategic priority in addressing the challenges of rapid urbanization processes experienced by Latin American cities in recent decades. The creation of linear parks along waterways and coastal areas is not only sustainable and highly beneficial from both a social and environmental perspective, but also an economically viable and sustainable strategy over time. The regeneration of the riverfront of the city of Rosario (Argentina) is a good example of this idea. By using a real case study, the aim is to provide evidence on the idea that prioritizing operations in river corridors and waterfronts is feasible here and now in the Latin American context, and that this prioritization can have synergistic effects to reverse the trends of urban decay affecting a large number of cities in the region.

El Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (AMBA) fue escenario de grandes transformaciones urbanas en los
últimos 25 años, en particular en sus áreas de borde, ligadas a los frentes costeros y bordes de cursos de
agua. Este paper indaga acerca de las reglas implícitas y explícitas que dieron forma a esos procesos de
transformación, en función de tres ejes de análisis, que representan los puntos más problemáticos en la
construcción del AMBA: el acceso al suelo, la producción de ciudad y la morfología urbana. Para esto, se
analizan dos casos contrastantes con el objetivo de formular hipótesis que permitan ampliar este análisis
para otras áreas de borde de la región: la zona de Rincón del Milberg, en el municipio de Tigre, antiguos
bañados ocupados recientemente por urbanizaciones informales, y la zona de Los Hornos, en el municipio
de Moreno, una zona de cavas y hornos de ladrillo, donde se desarrollaron en la última década una serie de
ocupaciones informales. The Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires (AMBA) was the scene of large urban transformations in the last 25
years, particularly in its fringe areas, related to the waterfronts or along the rivers. This paper asks about
implicit and explicit rules that shaped those transformation processes, based on three axes of analysis,
which represent the most problematic issues in the construction of the AMBA: access to land, production of
city and urban morphology. For this purpose, we analyze two contrasting cases in order to formulate
hypotheses, that will expand this analysis to other fringe areas of the region: Rincon del Milberg, in the
municipality of Tigre, former wetlands, and recently occupied by gated communities, and Los Hornos, in the
municipality of Moreno, an area of diggins and brickyards, where a series of slums were developed in the
last decade.

<p>The demolition of the 3.5-km Alaska Way viaduct opened doors for City of Seattle to transform its waterfront district. The overhead, double-decker freeway along the waterfront obstructed views of Puget Sound from the downtown and generated significant noise pollution. The structure cast wide shadows so the cold, barren nature of the ground-level space left it to be unusable for all but parking. Now torn down, people have a new visual connection with Puget Sound from downtown. This has opened opportunities to knit together the reimagined waterfront with the downtown core and to the historic Pike Place Market.</p><p>The new Union Street Pedestrian Bridge is one such opportunity, providing a safe, universally accessible east-west connection for residents, workers and visitors of Seattle. The bridge is a key element of the revitalization of the neighborhood.</p><p>The sculpted form of the bridge uses an elegantly haunched cast-in-place concrete girder and sculpted columns to carry pedestrians out over the hardscape below as an extension of the upper sidewalk. This becomes a skywalk as users approach the waterfront promenade from an elevated perspective. A grand staircase and elevator provide vertical circulation from the bridge deck down to lower grade. Two artwork elements are incorporated into the design – a decorative screen wall along one edge of the bridge, and a 21m long stainless-steel sculpture of a giant fern frond that arches over the staircase. The frond is supported at the top end on the 18m high elevator tower that is glazed in channel glass which will glow like a lantern at night. The overall effect of the interacting features is dramatic and will create a beacon to help with wayfinding along the waterfront promenade.</p>

Full textAbstract:
In the process of globalization, building on the particular spatial scenery of the waterfront, cities tend to refresh their strategies of development to adapt new trends of urban life with huge urban waterfront regeneration projects. These usually focus on a target of maximum marketing and construction of a new image-vision, which aims to represent the city in the global agenda. This aspect is depending on bigger changes in the urban context, the shift in government structures to entrepreneurial forms that involve externalization of state functions (Swyngedouw 2005; p. 1998). The rationale behind the phenomenon of waterfront regeneration and the global embracement of it is now “widely recognized if incompletely understood" (Hoyle 2001 pp. 297), as the relevant literature is based on case studies with focus on the examples of North American and European cities. The goal is to contribute to the more general, theoretical contention of urban waterfront regeneration in developing countries in understanding their dimensions in terms of governance and planning. The research tackles urban waterfront regeneration in Istanbul, Turkey by studying the most recent initiative of urban waterfront regeneration along Halic /The Golden Horn, the Halic Shipyard Conservation Project. The theoretical framework that underpins this study is derived from the discourse on new forms of urban governance including private, public and civic actors (Paquet 2001) that influence planning processes and project outcomes. To evaluate the planning process from a comprehensive governance perspective, indicators include: the legal framework, decision-making process, actors and their relations (Nuissl and Heinrichs 2010) and as normative the perspective of an inclusive planning approach (Healey 1997, 2006) helps to evaluate the planning process of the project. As urban waterfront regeneration literature is mostly based upon case study approaches, a critical overview of international examples is conducted. Both primary and secondary data is collected through: literature review, review of laws, review of official documents and land-use plans, an internship, 31 interviews, 91 questionnaires, participatory observation, a workshops, observation and photographs. The aim is to assess to which extend the top-down governance forms, but also bottom-up grass root empowerment influence the planning process and project outcomes, giving recommendations for an inclusive planning approach. The second aim is to evaluate the urban waterfront regeneration project studying its impact on the neighboring community. Bedrettin Neighborhood is chosen for analysis and its position in the planning process along with its needs are exposed. The thesis argues the modes in which along with clear targets for the improvement of the quality of life for the neighboring community, the urban waterfront regeneration project, Halic Shipyard Conservation Project, will be able to escape the current deadlocks and collisions between government, investors, resistance and local community and might have a chance to actually set an urgently needed precedent of a new planning culture in Istanbul.

<p>The Frances Appleton Pedestrian Bridge is an innovative steel arch bridge with a 69m main span and curvilinear approaches along the Charles River in Boston, Massachusetts. It is the first Americans with Disabilities Act fully accessible 4.3m wide bridge connecting Boston’s historic Beacon Hill neighborhood to the Esplanade Park and Charles River. An overall architectural and structural theme was followed in the design of all bridge components including the main arch, Y shaped approach piers, circular stairs and curved ramps. The bridge is light, elegant and well-integrated into the landscape complementing an adjacent historic landmark bridge and seamlessly blending into the waterfront context.</p>
