Waterfront Urban Space. Designing for Blue-green Places

Waterfront Urban Space. Designing for Blue-green Spaces explores potentialities and emerging issues to strategies and waterside planning and design. The redesigning of waterfronts is clearly meant to encourage ecological and sustainable urban change that can enhance integration of land and city’s accessibility and connectivity. Further, can create new opportunities offering a range of regenerated public open spaces. This book develops research results and detailed cases of interest in response to climate change, to promote sustainable development in a variety of ways. It seeks to include some key waterfront topics in linking new spatial patterns to social dynamics. The book is structuring into two parts: Part One: "Advancing riverfront transformation examines" examines proposals on urban waterfronts and relations between urban spaces and social dynamics to revitalise and re-appropriate urban environment, Part Two: "Outlining blue-green opportunities" develops proposals on waterfront urban spaces and places with promotion of sociability and enjoyment, integrating cultural and economic values, health and wellbeing.
