Abstract:

The relationship between waterfronts and water in the establishment of many cities is undeniable. Issues as to why many waterfront developments do not respond to their water are often raised. This thesis examines the response of waterfront development towards its water (in particular the urban rivers). This is measured through the level of contextual integration in the city centre of Kuala Lumpur to identify the reason why this situation exists. The research employed the qualitative method using a case study approach. It triangulates several techniques, which include morphological study, field observations (visual survey, direct observation, activity mapping), focus groups and in-depth interviews. The theoretical framework was based on the Integrative Theory of Urban Design, which has five main principles comprising ‘good form’, ‘legibility’, ‘vitality’, ‘comfort’ and ‘meaning’ from which thirteen attributes were extracted. The research found a mix of levels in the contextual integration of the KL waterfront for all attributes evaluated. Five attributes that affect the level of contextual integration the most are the ‘direct access’, ‘physical character of urban river’, ‘seating’, ‘development that addresses urban river’ and ‘shade’. This study inferred that the other related attributes borrowed from other public spaces are vital to achieve the response of waterfronts towards the urban river. However, the evaluation criteria have to be suited to the local context. Twenty-one factors were identified that affect the level of contextual integration. Three reoccurring factors in seven out of the thirteen attributes evaluated are ‘the existence of highway’, ‘fenced private property till the edge of the river’ and ‘building built abutting the river edge’. It also gathered that the contextual integration between the waterfront and the urban river can only be achieved with the interrelation of the physical and functional dimensions. Eight key reasons were established as to why the waterfront is not contextually integrated with the urban river, these are i) lack of planning – policies, laws, guidelines, master plan, ii) limitation of funds, iii) condition of the river, vi) introduction of other transportation systems, v) lack of coordinated management, vi) political will, vii) lack of awareness and viii) market demand. These findings contribute to the gap in many queries and assumptions concerning this issue from the perspective of a city centre in an emerging Asian country.

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the significance of waterfront redevelopment in the post-industrial city. The context for this analysis is the advent of post-industrial society - as evidenced by the economic, social and physical restructuring of cities. My objectives in undertaking this research are to gain a better understanding of planning issues in waterfront redevelopment; to examine the use of waterfront redevelopment as a policy tool for achieving community objectives; and to ascertain the broader implications of waterfront redevelopment in post-industrial society. My research is based on an extensive literature review, several interviews, and more in-depth study of selected waterfront projects. The significance of urban waterfront redevelopment is studied from three different perspectives: (i) the physical restructuring of cities in the post-industrial period; (ii) the experiences of various waterfront communities; and (iii) the case study of New Westminster, British Columbia. Waterfront redevelopment is significant in the post-industrial city as a public policy tool for achieving broader social and economic development objectives. Through the redevelopment of their waterfronts, communities have an opportunity to redress a range of social and economic issues. The social development potential is seldom realized, however, because redevelopment is primarily commercially-motivated. In theory, the urban waterfront has been reclaimed for all residents of the post-industrial city. The notion of public access and the creation of public amenities are fundamental principles of waterfront development. In practice, however, the benefits of a revitalized waterfront are not shared equally. As the waterfront profiles demonstrate, the nature of the waterfront land-use mix is generally biased towards high-end commercial development and luxury housing. The nature and form of new waterfront developments raises questions about elitism and equity in the post-industrial city. If some level of economic integration is not achieved, the waterfront will not have been reclaimed for all residents of the post-industrial city, but, rather - for the post-industrial urban elite.

Croatia stands true to its marketing slogan, "the Mediterranean as it once was", with tiny tiled-roof villages dotting the unspoiled coastline-- but for how long? Since it declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, Croatia has been on the rise attracting tourists to its Adriatic coastline and over 1000 islands, reaching its prewar tourism numbers when it led the market as the top destination for European vacationers. Investors, speculators and developers have all followed suit, attempting to take advantage of the beautiful coastline and growing market. However, developers have had minimal success navigating through the overly restrictive planning and permitting bureaucracy. In the meanwhile, two to four story apartment hotels have sprung up like wild fire (legally and illegally) and are dominating the coastal accommodations and threatening the natural landscape. As most of the Mediterranean coastlines are 70% developed, Croatia maintains only 15% of its coast developed; creating a strong comparative advantage that must be preserved and strategically utilized. The current system does not have a vision of how to accomplish this. An analysis of the sustainability of the coastal development process in Croatia was conducted beginning with an intense review of available literature, followed by a series of personal interviews with key figures in the market. The seven coastal counties of Croatia were visited during the interview process where developers, architects, city and state officials, business consultants, lawyers, academics and investors shared their knowledge about the opportunities and challenges of this exciting market. Economic drivers, land use policy, design, financing, infrastructure capacity and operations were all reviewed as key elements of the development process.
(cont.) An analysis of these elements produced a final recommendation establishing a vision for the Croatian coast and an Adriatic Coastal Planning Policy to carry out that vision for generations to come.

Abstract:

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.

Abstract:

The urban waterfront areas of the United States have grown increasingly neglected and derelict due to changes in traditional industrial uses and their physical severance from the downtown core. A revived interest in urban living has brought downtown property values up, including waterfront areas, and has jump-started a movement towards waterfront revitalization. In an effort to understand the specific characteristics that make some waterfront revitalization projects more sustainable over time than others, this paper employed a case study approach. Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, San Francisco, and Seattle’s Central Waterfront were selected for analysis based on three specific perspectives: recreation; development; and tourism. Using criteria determined from the literature review in conjunction with key player interviews and documentary evidence, the three case study waterfronts were analyzed for their ability to sustain revitalization. The results indicate that waterfronts must provide a balance and mix of uses, assimilate with the surrounding city, provide connections between attractions and with the city and region, continuously reinvent themselves, provide attractions that draw both locals and tourists, and have a clear identity. These findings, while quite broad, are intended to provide a foundation that will be relevant to any city undertaking new waterfront revitalization projects.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to examine key attributes of sustainable service innovation (SSI) in the hotel industry. The research has used backcasting from sustainable principles and a few frameworks for strategic sustainable development (FSSD) concepts. The FSSD concepts such as 5LM and strategic ABCD lens helped to discover an integrated framework for evaluating SSI. Document analysis and interviews with 6 practitioners from a single case study organization informed on how they recognize and contribute towards sustainability. The study shows the competitive benefits of using SSI strategically in the hotel industry. The recommendation is for them to complement FSSD with SDGs, the Sustainability Principles (SPs) so they can have a better definition of sustainability to implement into their operational processes. This thesis contributed to the ongoing study on sustainability and its relationship to service innovation in addition to provide recommendations for companies striving towards sustainability path. The findings showed that SSI consists of four attributes: hotel industry, sustainable practice, organizational innovation, and resourcing. The result from the 5LM analysis and thematic analysis shows that sustainable practice has direct and indirect impacts on hotel industry, organizational innovation, and resourcing. Additionally, while using the ABCD approach resourcing appeared as the most important attribute. Since this research is based on a single case study, the future studies should conduct multiple case study to investigate the relationship between sustainability and service innovation.

Abstract This papers aims to discuss the potentiality of tourism and recreation in Stockholm by developing its waterfronts. Waterfronts neighbourhood of south side of Kungsholmen has been taken as a case study which has lots of potentiality to develop in terms of tourism and recreations. Urban waterfronts planning and redevelopment is currently a civic interest which consists of both challenges as well as opportunities. It has adapted different significant in different urban cultures. Waterfronts by the side of Kungsholmen are unique and valuable resources of Stockholm. However, most of the waterfronts recreation grounds are not well designed and located or not properly linked with the nearby tourist destinations. The goal of the study is to create good quality recreation space along the waterfronts of the south side of Kungsholmen and connect them with the central tourist spots of Gamlastan. The study has done through literature reviews of overseas examples to formulate the performance criteria that help to evaluate the existing quality of waterfront recreation development and to formulate the urban design guidelines. The study will take a macro level study on the entire waterfronts area.

Abstract:

It is widely believed that globalisation of economic production and emergence of an integrated world order is the main rational behind many urban development projects in the world cities. The other major phenomenon concerning urban development in the advanced industrial countries is wide spread use of public private partnership in the project as a result of state-market realignment since the end of the 1970s. These two discourses were combined together and have created a particular image of the city in the global economy. That is cities are competing each other to attract mobile trans-national capital by, for instance, the urban infrastructure project carried out by public private partnership in entrepreneurial manner. The author believes that the argument is leaned toward economic determinism without giving proper attention to the role of national and local government, and argues that this image is by no means universal. The thesis explores how public bodies and the business community in Tokyo saw the opportunity and potential danger of the globalisation of Tokyo and devised strategic development policy. The case study of Tokyo Waterfront Sub-centre, one of the flagship project for globalisation of Tokyo, illustrate unique relationship between national government, Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and the business community behind the project. The author analyses power relations between them in the framework of Urban Regime Theory with additional parameters which are the position of Tokyo in global economy, and its integrated inter-governmental system. The author concludes that contrary to the popular argument of globalisation and urban development which emphasises the power of global economic forces to determine the fate of the city, Japanese government set the framework of the strategic action, and Tokyo Metropolitan Government was a main agent to carry out the project. The author also attributed the relative strength of state policy to historically constructed relations between public and private sectors in Japan known as Capitalist Developmental State.

Community engagement in large-scale development projects is a critical step in the real estate development process, needed both to obtain official project approval and to gain feedback to create projects that better provide for and respond to the needs of the community. In San Francisco and other cities with extensive political and community involvement surrounding issues of urban growth, community engagement can be particularly important. Yet the community process can be agonizing, rife with contentious public hearings in which only those who are avidly for or against a project participate. Because of this, developers may dismiss engagement as an unpleasant formality necessary for project approval. However, the community process undertaken at Pier 70, a large waterfront development project in San Francisco, demonstrates that engagement can be an effective tool to build trust, gain project support, and make projects that better serve the community. The developers of Pier 70, Forest City, have gained remarkable community support for their project, including receiving citywide voter approval for proposed height changes on site. This thesis examines Pier 70 as a case study to explore how developers can help foster trust and effective collaboration through the community engagement process. To do so, it draws from a review of the process and problems of standard community engagement and presents alternative models. It also discusses recent large-scale waterfront projects in other cities, the history of San Francisco's highly politicized development process, and increasing controversy concerning waterfront development. Analysis suggests that Forest City has led an effective engagement strategy, gaining support and meaningful feedback throughout the process. Case study findings at the scale of the developer, project, neighborhood, and city demonstrate how Forest City has tailored their approach to the specific site to align the project and community process with the needs of the city and community. Forest City has been successful largely due to their ability to act locally, engage broadly and openly, and build trust with the community. Ultimately, this thesis draws lessons from Pier 70's development process to suggest methods for ensuring that development projects are not only profitable, but also valuable for the community and surrounding urban realm.

Abstract:

This project was an exercise in aligning my intuition, community experience, and design sensitivities under the pretext of an architectural expression. My desire was to work endogenously, or out of my home environment, on a project that had no clear programmatic or formal requirements or limitations. I began by assessing a prevalent issue in my home town (a connection between the river and the town center) both from the top down and the bottom up. Throughout, I sought to challenge my preconceived notions of what might be, and allow a design process to emerge out of the layers of information I had absorbed as a participant in this holistic landscape. Inflection and change became a driving force in this pared down design process, and through them came a working territory that framed the programmatic and formal specificities of the South River P.O.R.T.

Abstract:

The purpose of this investigation is to examine how landscape architecture can create a different kind of threshold between land and water without controlling the edge between the two entities, but merely guiding the natural process of exchange. The design of Oyster Harbor on the Eastern Shore of Virginia is in contrast to normative development of waterfront sites. The hard edge of common practices of waterfront development stands in tension to the more natural evolving edge of many harbors.When creating a dialogue between land and water, the solution has always been to create a sea wall separating the two entities. It becomes the hard dividing line between a solid surface and liquid life. Is there a way to create a threshold that does not divide? How can landscape architecture create an exchange of qualities with land and water? Does the sea wall become the precedent to all concerns of tide and sea usurping lands edge? The edge between land and water is ever changing, so why not celebrate and personify that edge through creating a natural exchange between water and land. In order to create such an exchange, we must first look at the nature of water and land. Water is a free element that is composed of hydrogen and oxygen. It is inclined to motion, reflection, rise and fall. It holds a unique quality independent of man-induced control. Land is a more solid entity created by layers of stone and elements broken down by water. Land capacity is gauged by water, as in the water table. Throughout history, man has maintained a controlling relationship with land. However this is the opposite with water. Man has an inherent fear of water, the representative of both life and death. Though man tries, he cannot control water, he must work within the bounds set by water. How does one understand the evolutionary relationship of land and water without trying to control the elements that allow the relationship to occur? Through research, it is revealed that land actually usurps water through both a push and pull method of tides and water run off from land. Through time and tide, land builds up and infringes upon the natural edge of land and water. The plains move down, the vegetative roll moves forward, the beach ridges reconfigure, and the tidal flats create a shelf that extends out into the ocean floor.This evolution of land continually cycles on moon and sun paths that dictate the change in light, shade, wind, tides, motion, and human cycles. Whether recognizable or not recognizable, these macro and micro environmental cycles become a dance in the realm of landscape architecture. How does one reveal macro and micro environmental aspects through design with human interaction at the edge between land and water?

Abstract:

Architectural and urban design for the reconversion of the part of the Old Brno (former textil fabric of the company Kras and surrounding areas) based on the existing structure of the Old Brno and ideas of compact city (mixing functions> multipurpose buildings, the divergence between private and public space, higher density of the city ...) The work consists of several parts: planning studies, design transportation solutions, waterfront Svratka concept and design for the multifunctional block on the waterfront. What is important is the idea of calming waterfront Svratka (sheltering services to the proposed tunnel and the cancellation of barrier between the city and the river). The waterfront district should become after more attractive location and provide a space for sport, recreation and afternoon walks. There is a block of multipurpose buildings on the waterfront. A corporate underground garage, which is under the block, should be build by a strong investor / city. After underground garage completion, the site will be divided into several parcels and these will be rented to various long-term investors .Tenants can build buildings on them according to their needs. It is possible to build buildings above the garage in sequence development. The project is just one of many options. Individual buildings are design in scale 1:200

Includes bibliographical references (pages 113-115).
This thesis examines waterfront developments in the Middle East . It concentrates on the Golden Horn project in Istanbul as it raises a number of issues that are central to any such development in that region. In order for us to appreciate the problem, the thesis starts with an examination of the history of the city of Istanbul. This is followed by an investigation of the role of the Golden Hom in its life throughout history. The main issue raised in waterfront developments in a Middle Eastern context is discontinuity between the city and the new development through the introduction of new users, functions, scale and sensibilities alien to what exists now. Istanbul, being part of an international heritage, its preservation and continuity to the water's edge becomes a moral obligation as well as a practical need to protect rest of its fabric from the repercussions of overloading. A performance specification is put forward to integrate the development back into the life of the city. Formally, urban waterfronts in the context of the Middle East are problematic as no precedent exists for dealing with the water's edge. Hence an investigation of the cultural attitude to nature and the form of the city is put forward, from which principles and orders are extrapolated to aid the designers in their approach to the problem.

Abstract:

The main concern of this thesis is to evaluate the land-cut as an alternative urban design tool instead of landfill in the creation of shore in waterfront areas in terms of improving space quality, increasing the shoreline length for the use and benefit of public, decreasing the risks of natural disasters while increasing the marine ecosystem and habitat, and promoting the development of the land economy. The development of the idea dates back to an urban design studio study carried out in 2005 in Eceabat, Ç
anakkale by Middle East Technical University Urban Design Master Program. During the study, it was observed that the interaction of small town of Eceabat with water was partially blocked by a seaside road and a ferry port created by landfill. Therefore, the ways of integrating the town life with water was searched and in the design schemes proposed after the analyses, the possibility to create a new shore by land-cut method in Eceabat was evaluated. Within this framework, the possibility of using land-cut method is evaluated in a more detailed case study of KuSdili Meadow and KuSdili Stream (Kurbagali v Dere) located in Kadikö
y, Istanbul where there is a potential to create urban space with an approach which has not been used so far in Turkey. Prior to the analysis, the life near waterside has been studied in order to clarify how people from different geographies developed settlements near waterside and how those settlements existed with water. The reasons and the problematic of landfill has been evaluated with specific examples in order to put forward from what aspects the use of an alternative method be considered is necessary. Therefore, the legal and administrative aspects which resulted in the creation of landfills as problematic spaces on the waterside have also been discussed. At the end of the study, the potentiality of the site has been studied to find out from various urban design aspects with a specific reference to the applicability of land-cut method. Therefore, the analysis of the site has been carried out. And the thesis has shown that land-cut may possibly be an alternative to landfill in the development of waterside urban spaces from various spatial, social, and economic aspects.

Abstract:

This creative project explores how landscape design can enhance the coexistence of humans and nature. Too often, placemaking and landscape ecology are viewed separately; however, this project combines the principles of each to inform the design of a masterplan for the Wabash Riverfront. It is anticipated that recommendations made in this study will encourage Peru, Indiana to embrace the riverfront as an integral component of a healthy, livable community, both environmentally and socially.

Abstract:

Esta tese trata da incerteza como fator determinante na produção urbana contemporânea, analisando em profundidade a Margem Sul do Tejo. A consolidação da cidade industrial correspondeu à infra-estruturação, capacidade de produção e ampliação do espaço urbano, baseada na previsão da oferta de serviços urbanos. Foi também a origem disciplinar do urbanismo, como teoria do conhecimento da urbanização e organização da sua prática. Na rotura do modelo industrial e a transição para uma urbanidade pós-industrial, mais plural e extensa, ocorre também uma diversificação e especialização do saber do urbano, por várias áreas de conhecimento. Vários autores nas últimas décadas vêm apontando para o aumento da escala das estruturas urbanas, da sua maior diversidade e da complexidade das dinâmicas de relação entre os atores a elas ligadas. À rápida velocidade de transformação acrescentam-se outros aspectos de conflito ou interação, ligados a instabilidade de ciclos econômicos ou políticos, como alguns dos fatores que contribuem para a percepção de uma menor previsibilidade e maior instabilidade urbana. Estas dinâmicas de transformação da cidade contemporânea, marcadas pela instabilidade e variabilidade dos processos urbanos, são refletidas de inúmeras formas na ação do planeamento e desenho urbano. Assim, o saber urbanístico parece hoje não conseguir responder a estas condicionantes dinâmicas, reduzindo a sua fiabilidade e capacidade para determinar o futuro. Neste contexto, a incerteza tornou-se indispensável como conceito útil para o entendimento da instabilidade. Como conceito transversal aquelas transformações, será essencial considerar como alternativa à menor viabilidade das formas de planear ancoradas em relações de causa-efeito, regras pré-estabelecidas ou “standards” rígidos de desenho. No âmbito das estratégias de desenho cresce a necessidade de gerir fatores, elementos e atores que mudam mais facilmente. Como responder a estas mudanças? A discussão central da investigação, naquele contexto de transição é da dificuldade que a incerteza confere aos processos de desenho e de produção da cidade contemporânea. Assim, propusemo-nos basear numa leitura interdisciplinar de cidade e na análise dos processos da construção e transformação do espaço urbano, desenvolvendo raciocínios estratégicos sobre a incerteza: - No campo teórico, centramo-nos nas transformações da produção da cidade. No estudo das estratégias do planeamento e desenho urbano para intervir na cidade atual, identificamos as lacunas existentes, as condições, práticas e instrumentos relevantes, que levam a uma reflexão aprofundada sobre os conceitos de plano, programa e projeto, em diferentes tempos e contextos e a necessidade de “novos” processos, ferramentas e estratégias. - No campo prático, analisamos a re-estruturação urbana “pós-industrial”, tendo como caso de estudo a Margem Sul do Tejo, na Área Metropolitana de Lisboa. No estudo das emergências e expectativas de transformação, mas também fatores contraditórios de retração e dificuldades, procuramos explicitar os reflexos da incerteza nos processos de transformação do território e formular raciocínios sobre a viabilidade das transformações. Procuramos assim responder a questões de investigação que são de matriz teórico-prática: se a complexidade cresce, que elementos podemos usar para interpretar e intervir nestes espaços, em contextos de incerteza e instabilidade latente? Apresentamos a proposta de uma matriz conceptual e operativa, centrada no princípio da continuidade urbana e baseada nos sistemas urbanos com potencial estruturador do território urbano –a paisagem, a infraestrutura e o espaço público- a partir da sua definição teórica e da sua explicitação no conjunto de espaços ribeirinhos da Margem Sul. Finalmente, uma discussão do papel das escalas e dos modos de aplicação da matriz, numa lógica processual e interdisciplinar da adaptabilidade urbana, permitir-nos-á aprofundar a reflexão sobre a sua relevância, para estruturar a continuidade em intervenções onde a incerteza condiciona a decisão, apoiando-nos numa lógica dos sistemas e “layers” de ação.
Esta tesis se ocupa de la incertidumbre como un factor clave de la producción urbana contemporánea, analizando en profundidad la zona conocida como “Margem Sul do Tejo”. La consolidación de la ciudad industrial correspondió a la infra estructuración, la capacidad de producción y la expansión del espacio urbano basada en la previsión de la oferta de servicios urbanos. También fue el origen disciplinar del urbanismo como teoría del conocimiento de la urbanización y la organización de su práctica. El fracaso del modelo industrial y la transición a una urbanidad post-industrial, más plural y amplia, donde también hay una diversificación y especialización del saber urbano, en diversas áreas del conocimiento. Varios autores han señalado en las últimas décadas el crecimiento de la escala de las estructuras urbanas, su mayor diversidad y la complejidad de las dinámicas de relación entre los actores urbanos. A la velocidad de procesamiento rápido se suman otros aspectos de conflicto o interacción vinculados a la inestabilidad de los ciclos económicos o políticos como algunos de los factores que contribuyen a la percepción de una menor previsibilidad y una mayor inestabilidad urbana. Estas dinámicas de transformación de la ciudad contemporánea, marcadas por la inestabilidad y la variabilidad de los procesos urbanos, se reflejan en numerosas formas en la acción de la planificación y el diseño urbanos. Por lo tanto, hoy el saber urbanístico parece no responder a estas condiciones dinámicas, lo que reduce su fiabilidad y la capacidad de determinar el futuro. En este contexto, la incertidumbre se ha convertido de un modo indispensable en un concepto útil para entender la inestabilidad. Como concepto transversal a esos cambios, es esencial tenerlo en cuenta como una alternativa para disminuir las maneras de planificar ancladas en las relaciones de causa-efecto, reglas preestablecidas o estándares rígidos de diseño. En el ámbito de las estrategias de diseño crece la necesidad de gestionar los factores, elementos y actores que cambian con mayor facilidad. ¿Cómo responder a estos cambios? El argumento central de la investigación, en un contexto de transición, es la dificultad que añade la incertidumbre a los procesos de diseño y producción de la ciudad contemporánea. Por lo tanto, nuestro objetivo es construir una lectura interdisciplinaria de la ciudad y un análisis de los procesos de construcción y transformación del espacio urbano, desarrollando un razonamiento estratégico acerca de la incertidumbre: - En el campo teórico, nos centramos en las transformaciones de la producción de la ciudad. El estudio de las estrategias de planificación y diseño urbano para intervenir en la ciudad actual, identificando fallos en las condiciones, prácticas e instrumentos, conducen a una profunda reflexión sobre los conceptos de plano, programa y proyecto, en diferentes momentos y contextos, y la necesidad de “nuevos” procesos, herramientas y estrategias. - En el campo práctico, analizamos la reestructuración urbana “post-industrial” con el estudio del caso de la “Margem Sul do Tejo” en el Área Metropolitana de Lisboa. El estudio de las emergencias y expectativas de transformación, pero también los factores contradictorios de contracción y dificultad, persigue explicitar cómo se refleja la incertidumbre en los procesos de transformación y en consecuencia formular argumentos sobre la viabilidad de las transformaciones. Tratamos de responder a las preguntas de investigación, que son de matriz teórica y práctica: la complejidad crece, ¿qué elementos podemos usar para interpretar e intervenir en estos espacios, en condiciones de incertidumbre e inestabilidad latente? Presentamos la propuesta de una matriz conceptual y operativa centrada en el principio de la continuidad urbana y basada en los sistemas urbanos con potencial estructurador del territorio urbano (paisaje, infraestructura y espacio público) a partir de su definición teórica y su explicación en el conjunto de espacios en el frente del río de la “Margem Sul do Tejo”. Por último, se presenta un debate sobre el papel de las escalas y los modos de aplicación de la matriz, en una lógica procesual e interdisciplinar de la adaptabilidad urbana, que nos permite reflexionar más sobre su importancia para estructurar la continuidad en intervenciones donde la incertidumbre condiciona la decisión, basándose en una lógica de sistemas y “layers” de acción.

Abstract:

The “Eastern Seaport Master Plan” is the design of a mixed-use neighborhood in South Boston, a site that has an enormous amount of potential to be the pinnacle of the Boston waterfront. Located in the city’s Seaport District, the master plan addresses the site’s deterioration as industry has declined. By reducing the impact of the necessity of the car through its incorporation into the urban fabric, making use of the road’s infrastructure, creating a clear distinction between the functions of long-term and short-term parking, capitalizing on the opportunity to be the city’s hub for water transit, and designing a street front for the mixed-use city blocks that encourages street life in Boston’s harsh climate, the master plan will create a dynamic urban neighborhood that functions as its own entity but ties back to Boston as part of the city’s call to reclaim the waterfront.
