This chapter attempts to establish concepts and methods on urban change for a new dynamism on waterfronts and the creation of new urban scenarios. The Methodology undertaken is to propose a Waterfront Master Vision that should consider the importance of waterfront regenerationof sites in accordance of their location, historic, cultural and environmental values. The waterfront regeneration addresses the issue of core elements such as sustainability, urban quality, environmental improvement. The first part includes general waterfront concepts while the second part describes the River Arno’s proposed masterplan for future opportunities. The design concepts provide a review of the major problems that arose across the Southside of the River. Finally, a proposed Waterfront Master Vison has to become the basis for a good urban design strategy, an Action River Plan that will call for revitalisation of Florence riversides. It will identify a network of open spaces and waterfront pocket parks that can improve connectivity, social inclusion and environmental benefits.

Abstract
This chapter attempts to establish concepts and methods on urban change for a new dynamism on waterfronts and the creation of new urban scenarios. The Methodology undertaken is to propose a Waterfront Master Vision that should consider the importance of waterfront regenerationof sites in accordance of their location, historic, cultural and environmental values. The waterfront regeneration addresses the issue of core elements such as sustainability, urban quality, environmental improvement. The first part includes general waterfront concepts while the second part describes the River Arno’s proposed masterplan for future opportunities. The design concepts provide a review of the major problems that arose across the Southside of the River. Finally, a proposed Waterfront Master Vison has to become the basis for a good urban design strategy, an Action River Plan that will call for revitalisation of Florence riversides. It will identify a network of open spaces and waterfront pocket parks that can improve connectivity, social inclusion and environmental benefits.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
