City and port

City and port : urban planning as a cultural venture in London, Barcelona, New York, and Rotterdam: changing relations between public
Meyer, Han
1999
Utrecht, International Books. 424 p.
Resumen: The core of City and Port contains four detailed case studies of prominent urban waterfront redevelopment projects-London, Barcelona, New York and Rotterdam. However, the book is not intended as a waterfront catalogue, 'The port areas are given the role of coat racks on which a story of urban planning can be hung'. This story focuses on two themes-the conflict between global infrastructure (the port) and the local networks; and the conflict between place and programme. The story is told in an introductory history essay, and a concluding chapter on urban infrastructure. The introduction traces the changing relationship between the four cities and their ports over two centuries.
