Summary:

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 globalization, commercialization of space and commoditization of culture in waterfront development. Through sixteen selected case studies, Editors Heleni Portyriou 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.
