Summary

The urban waterfront is regarded as the frontier of contemporary urban development, easily attracting funding and drawing publicity.City, Capital and Waterprovides a detailed account of the redevelopment of urban waterfronts in major cities around the world including: London, Tokyo, Kobe, Osaka, Hong Kong, Sydney, Toronto, Dublin and Amsterdam. The range and depth of the case studies allow for an overview of the entire process--preliminary planning, approaches to financing, partnership agreements, and state sponsorship--and a discussion of the specifics of each case. Recent trends in urban waterfront redevelopment are discussed and analyzed, particularly the marginalization of planning, the effects of deregulation, economic globalization, and the manipulation of development processes by property and political interests.
