Most books on waterfronts deal with a relatively narrow collection of cities and projects; one might describe them as the top ten list of waterfront revitalisation projects. For instance; Boston and Baltimore are now the stuff of waterfront redevelopment legend. Waterfronts in Post-Industrial Cities is a second generation waterfront publication which reflects on recent and contemporary developments. Amsterdam; Boston; Genoa; Sydney and Vancouver are successful examples of cities that faced considerable challenges in their revitalisation efforts. Bilbao; Havana; Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Shanghai are contemporary examples that represent the emerging contexts for waterfront revitalisation today.Four themes form the basis of this book and provide a structure for considering particular aspects of waterfront redevelopment - connection to the waterfront; remaking the city image on the waterfront; port and city relations and the new waterfronts in historic cities. Broad issues that might be applicable to a variety of situations are dealt with alongside specific city case studies.
