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 globalisation; commercialization of space and commoditisation of culture in waterfront development. Through sixteen selected case studies; Editors Heleni Porfyriou 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.

I havent seen a hard copy yet but I bet its fantastic in that format (great graduation gift). In Kindle format. its maybe a 5-minute read and neither black nor white backgrounds help visual content translate. I had prepurchased this so if Id seen how it was.

NiceBy TheaNice to see someone thinks like I do about the absurdities of life but next time I will check the length. I was looking for a good read not a short speech. My fault for not reading the description better.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Wish hed spoken at my collegeBy ClareWords of wisdom from one of my heroes.
