“…For instance, Somayya and Ramaswamy (2016) presented a case study of buildings along the Amsterdam canal corridor in The Netherlands transformed into smart cities, making significant contributions to Amsterdam's sustainable development through reduced urban pollution, waste of resources, and increased green buildings [86]. Cabau, Hernandez-Lamas, and Woltjer (2022) conducted an in-depth analysis of the evolution of urban architectural landscapes along the Regent's Canal corridor in London [87], emphasizing the formation of a continuous, cohesive foundation through historical multi-purpose values (such as transportation, environment, landscape, and entertainment) layered to transform it into a constantly changing, more diverse linear canal landscape corridor. Gatta and Bitelli (2020) conducted a study on cultural heritage related to artificial waterways in Bologna, Italy, including several silk factories, sewer systems, and ports, using historical geographic information systems and 18th-and 19th-century maps [88].…”

“…The former has garnered scholarly attention since 2018, reflecting the link between canal-related architectural heritage and urban areas. It is no longer limited to the development of individual buildings and communities but plays a crucial role in urban area construction and overall development, thus garnering significant attention in academia [87]. The latter, industrial heritage, is a focal point of research in canal-related architectural studies.…”

During the early stages of the Industrial Revolution, canals played a crucial role in facilitating the rapid development of factories. Despite economic downturns and the rise of alternative transportation towards the end of the last century, canals have been experiencing a resurgence in recent years, driven by the principles of sustainable development. To gain a deeper understanding of global academic research focus and current trends, this paper systematically reviews publications related to canal-related industrial buildings from 1997 to 22 January 2024. Using the bibliometric software CiteSpace 6.3.1, information such as countries, institutions, authors, keywords, and references from 96 selected articles in the Web of Science (WoS) database was visualized and analyzed. The results reveal that the current research hotspots in this field mainly focus on five clusters: “stakeholders”, “green spaces”, “conservation areas”, “industrial heritage”, and “energy-efficient reconstruction”. The most popular research topics concerning canal-related industrial buildings are “urban renewal”, “industrial heritage”, “climate change”, and “heritage tourism”, with most themes closely linked to sustainable development. However, it is observed that there is still a lack of a systematic research framework in this field. Most studies originate from heritage management and conservation, landscape rejuvenation along canals, and canal water resource management, while systematic research on canal-related industrial buildings remains limited. Based on these findings, this study proposes future trends and potential research directions in this field, aiming to provide researchers with a comprehensive understanding of the status and to support the sustainable preservation and management of industrial buildings and heritage along canals with a more systematic research framework.

La extensa red de canales navegables que se desarrolló en Europa durante los siglos XVIII y principios del XIX se convirtió paulatinamente, con la llegada del ferrocarril y posterior proliferación del automóvil, en un sistema obsoleto para el fin para el que se creó. Desde 1990 vemos sin embargo, cómo los canales de transporte, uno de los iconos de la ingeniería de la Ilustración, se han convertido en importantes activos de regeneración de la ciudad. El artículo se centra en analizar los valores que aportan los canales a los entornos urbanos por las que discurren y cómo estas antiguas vías de transporte se están integrando en el funcionamiento de la ciudad actual. Sus cualidades les han permitido adquirir nuevos usos, donde los canales se reinterpretan para adaptarse a las necesidades de la sociedad presente. A través de algunos ejemplos se examina cómo se están gestionando sus diferentes valores, así como los proyectos e instrumentos que se están desarrollando para su puesta en valor.

The Spatio-Functional Role of Navigable Urban Canals in the City: Cases From London and Amsterdam

Cities incorporating navigable canals have played a crucial role in global trade and provided a platform for a range of activities for people from various locations. This research aims to comprehend the role of inner-city canals, formed as branches of shipping canals, in the spatial accessibility and functional structure of two contemporary urban systems: London and Amsterdam. Both cities are major post-industrial hubs in Europe and their spatial development and socioeconomic conditions have been greatly influenced by waterways. While the canal network in Amsterdam was planned alongside street layout planning in the early 17th century, serving commercial purposes, canals were integrated into London’s pre-existing urban form mainly for transportation in the 19th century. The current situation in these cities is impacted by this disparity in three ways: (a) the potential use of canals in the urban transportation system; (b) the spatial accessibility of street networks; and (c) the correlations between street accessibility and land use patterns in canal neighbourhoods. The research employs analytical methods of space syntax, geographic information systems, and statistical techniques to create and apply integrated urban models, incorporating spatial network measures, retail density, and functional diversity for street segments, to compare various urban conditions. The research reveals the crucial finding that the incorporation of canals into the street system leads to a substantial increase in the mean values of street network accessibility in Amsterdam. Additionally, the study highlights the vital contribution of diagonal streets linked with canal networks towards retail density in this city. In contrast, the accessibility measures and spatial patterns of urban functions in London are predominantly influenced by proximity to canals.
