Summary:

Immer mehr Hafen werden ausgebaut, damit sie in einer globalisierten Welt den Anforderungen in Sachen Nachhaltigkeit und Energiewende gerecht werden. Vor diesem Hintergrund erfinden die Lander Europas ihre maritimen Landschaften neu und bilden Hafen-Cluster neue organisatorische Strukturen, die Verwaltung und Management grundlegend verandern. Dieses Buch geht der Frage nach, wie sich die Bundelung von Hafenanlagen auf die Beziehung zwischen Stadten und ihren Hafen auswirkt, und stellt dabei konventionelle Theorien zu Hafenstadten aus Stadtforschung und Architektur auf die Probe. Es erkundet die raumlichen Folgen dieser Transformation zu Cluster-Landschaften und stellt gestalterische Werkzeuge vor, die den Institutionen von Hafenstadten helfen sollen, drangende Herausforderungen zu meistern. Vom Konsum der Kustenflachen uber nachhaltige Infrastrukturen bis hin zur sich verandernden Wahrnehmung von Hafen innerhalb der Stadt bietet Landscapes of the Cluster frische Einblicke in die zukunftigen Dynamiken von Hafenstadten. Untersucht das aufkommende Phanomen der Hafen-Cluster aus einer raumlichen Perspektive Vertiefte Forschung zu italienischen Hafen-Clustern, erganzt durch internationale Gastbeitrage Schaffung eines kooperativen Dialogs zwischen Wissenschaft und Hafeninstitutionen

As ports expand to meet global demands for sustainability and energy transition, European states are reshaping their maritime landscapes through port clustersnew organizational structures that transform both administration and governance. This book critically examines how port clusterization is redefining the relationship between cities and their ports, challenging conventional urban and architectural research on port-city conditions. It explores the spatial impacts and physical footprints of this transformation into landscapes of the cluster and introduces design tools to help port city institutions navigate pressing challenges. From coastal land consumption to sustainable infrastructures and the shifting perception of ports within cities, Landscapes of the Cluster provides fresh insights into the future of port-city dynamics. Examines the emerging phenomenon of port clusterization from a spatial perspective In-depth research on Italian port clusters, complemented by international guest essays Establishes a cooperative dialogue between academia and port institutions
