“…Governance is one of the most mentioned social aspects, with emphasis on entrepreneurial governance (Bruns-Berentelg et al, 2022) and local governance (Feldman, 2000). Dif f erent actors are identif ied: public actors, such as municipalities and port authorities (Garcia, 2008); private actors, such as real estate developers (Oakley, 2009); local communities, citizens, tourists, and visitors (Mikkelsen et al, 2018).

The regeneration of urban areas has entered the urban planning agenda of different cities, seeking to respond to scenarios of urban degradation and loss of functionality. In this sense, the urban regeneration of strategic areas of cities stands out, as the example of waterfronts. Based on this, the study aims to review the literature on the urban regeneration of waterfronts, seeking to understand how the theme has been addressed over the years and the existing gaps. The study was developed through a hybrid methodology, considering a systematic quantitative review, a semantic analysis, and a narrative analysis. The results demonstrate the actuality of the theme, the predominance of some countries – the UK, Italy, Australia, Portugal, and the USA - and the most recurrent areas of study - Social and Environmental Sciences. Finally, the main topics addressed are identified: policy, planning, projects, social aspects, cultural aspects, environmental aspects, economic aspects, and financial aspects. Keywords: urban regeneration, waterfronts, literature review.

“…Denmark Aalborg, HafenCity and Rotterdam can be given models as notable projects of this period. Generally, focused topics of this transformation phase are based on sustainable design approaches considering industrial heritage, comprehensive strategies for public areas, increasing economic and spatial charm of the city, mixed-use, productive and innovative models in office and residential planning models for preventing the privatization of the project, flexible planning and implementation process of design considering public participation in all steps of the project (Bunce and Desfor, 2007;Desfor et al, 2010;Marshall, 2004b;Mikkelsen et al, 2018).

PurposeThis paper's main objective emphasizes the importance of waterfront design in coastal cities. It reveals that a location is associated with the activities it hosts to become attractive for people or, in other words, to be a destination. In this respect, it proposes students' concept projects for the selected waterfront field study in Istanbul.Design/methodology/approachThis study's conceptual framework is designed according to the qualities compiled from the place-diagram and the power of 10+ (plus) concepts of the PPS (project for public spaces). Accordingly, a fieldwork study based on the qualitative and quantitative research method was conducted as fieldwork in the Istanbul Sarayburnu waterfront, where historical and touristic sight-seeings of the Golden Horn meet with the Bosphorus coastal line. In addition to photo-video recordings, survey questions were also prepared during the field study.FindingsSurvey questions inquiries multi questions searching for the place-diagram qualities provide suggestions of 90 people who responded in situ. Results of the case study highlight six alternative proposal projects for the fieldwork prepared based on the power of 10+ concept by the third grade students of the School of Architecture of Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University (IZU). Based on the survey questions and literature review findings, 10 sub-spatial qualities of waterfronts were disaggregated at the end of the study.Research limitations/implicationsThe power of 10+ concept in the study provides a gauge for architects and urban planners; it gives them an excellent tool for assessing the quality of public spaces for placemaking in waterfronts.Originality/valuePrevious studies have generally been based on the PPS's place-diagram qualities with little mention of the interaction with the power of 10+ concept in placemaking. The proposed sub-qualities in the paper's conclusion contribute to architects and urban planners considering a model approach derived from those PPS concepts.

“…Within this context, urban waterfronts are gaining more attention and undergoing major urban transformations. However, much of these transformations often result in situating users of the waterfront as passive observers of water; with limited possibilities for active bodily engagement, when water should be the centerpiece of these transformations [11].…”

Biophilic perceptions in the urban waterfront: analytical study of the Nile waterfront in Central Cairo

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

With most of the world`s population living in cities and urban areas, cities are currently seeking new strategies to integrate nature into the built environment. Urban waterways, and their adjacent urban areas, have been typically the main concern of these strategies. Urban waterfronts, although often sites of heavy development, are rarely designed to reflect the innate human need for contact with nature, commonly known as 'Biophilia'. Within this context, the main objective of this paper is to explore biophilic indicators in Central Cairo's waterfront, under the guidelines of 'Biophilic Urbanism' approach, which expands the practice of biophilia on the scale of cities and urban areas. The paper follows an analytical case study approach. Methods of data collection included a literature review, on-site observations, concurrent with semi-structured interviews when possible, and an online survey. An in-depth analysis of data was then carried out to assess the degree of integration of the Nile waterfront within the urban fabric of the city to identify biophilic perceptions in the waterfront. Results demonstrate that users of the Nile waterfront are rarely allowed physical access to the water. Visual access is mostly provided, with minor exceptions. Other cross-cutting findings indicate a lack of longitudinal and lateral social connectivity to the waterfront, lack of continuous appropriate pedestrian trails, and a general lack of green spaces and public amenities.
