The urban waterfront is widely regarded as a frontier of contemporary urban development; attracting both investment and publicity. City; Capital and Water provides a detailed account of the redevelopment of urban waterfronts in nine cities around the world: London; Tokyo; Kobe; Osaka; Hong Kong; Sydney; Toronto; Dublin and Amsterdam. The case studies cover different frameworks for development in terms of the role of planning; approaches to financing; partnership agreements; state sponsorship and development profits. The analysis also demonstrates the effects of economic globalization; deregulation; the marginalization of planning and the manipulation of development processes by property and political interests.
