Town Planning Practice of Revival of Coastal Territories

Abstract

The world experience of revitalization of coastal areas is considered. Vivid examples of revitalization for the citizens of coastal areas are "Hafen City" in Hamburg, "VКstra Namnen" in MalmЪ, "Fjord City" in Oslo, "Canary Wharf" in London. Until the beginning of the 21st century, people were not often seen on the banks of the Yonning River in the Chinese city of Taizhou because the embankment was a concrete road without trees. A 2002 project to create a park along the river was a successful solution to flood control and stormwater management. The effectiveness of such a system was proven by the simulation of regular floods. A wooden structure was added to the natural structure, which performs a technical function, where pedestrian routes were laid. Today, the park is a popular place for residents throughout the year, because the wetland system with pontoon paths is not at risk of flooding due to rising water levels. 3.8 hectares of public space were returned to the residents of Lisbon by building the Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology, and the area on the site of the former road and car park opened access to the Tagus River. It is possible to make the embankment active and accessible by leaving concrete anti-flood structures, as was done on the boulevard along the Vistula in Warsaw. The embankment, which before the reconstruction was not a public space, has become one of the most popular promenade spots in Warsaw after 2017. Domino Park on the waterfront of New York is an example of how a comfortable public space can be built in the context of an industrial area. In many American cities, the revitalization of coastal areas is accompanied by the organization of festival market places in the style of European cities with a predominance of local small shops, unpretentious architecture and the creation of a festive atmosphere.
 It was concluded that complex projects of embankment regeneration involve the construction of new offices and housing, certain tourist attractions - concert halls, museums, walking paths, restaurants and cafes. It is emphasized that the location of the headquarters of large corporations and educational institutions on the coastal territories is an important factor in the further development of such areas. The given examples of revitalization of coastal areas in different parts of the world prove that the creation of public spaces that are optimal in terms of comfort, safety, and aesthetics is the basis of urban planning organization of coastal areas. Attracting investments in the revitalization of coastal areas contributes to solving a number of environmental issues, the aesthetic quality of the urban environment, and the humanization of society.
