Abstract: Focusing on large-scale waterfront renewal, the most dynamic area of urban design today, this cutting edge review of award-winning waterfront designs explores the successful redevelopment of oceanfront, lakefront, and riverfront in urban centers around the world. Showcasing more than 100 international projects in maginificent full color, this beautifully produced design survey presents a rich and diverse portfolio of redevelopment work, including museums, restaurants, historic monuments, parks, housing, government facilities, trade centers, ship terminals, and retail stores. An ideal companion to the authors’ highly praised Waterfronts: Cities Reclaim Their Edge, the book is an invaluable source of ideas, inspiration, and practical design guidance.
