“…Research has attributed different meanings to the effects of land ownership type (as opposed to rights of use) on planning processes dedicated to properties in the proximity of urban waters. Teschner (2018) suggests that public ownership in waterfront redevelopment plays a symbolic—rather than a pragmatic—role because a definition of a public domain may embody a certain ideology that supports and promotes principles such as common use and open access. Although this symbolic meaning may only apply to the legal arrangements in a particular context, notions of common use and open access are values that, in the longer term, may influence planning processes, public engagement, and court decisions.…”

“…The competition for waterfront space, the need for public access to the shore, the economic vitality of the waterfront, and the conservation of waterfront biodiversity as a natural resource have thus become increasingly prominent issues in urban policy (Sairinen and Kumpulainen 2006). Moreover, waterfront transformation processes involve the negotiation of a complex set of power relations between public and private stakeholders operating at a variety of scales and between different levels and types of government agencies (Dodman 2008; Galland and Hansen 2012; Teschner 2018). The complexity of planning and executing waterfront regenerations is what makes them an interesting terrain for investigation.…”

Since the 1970s, urban waterfronts have undergone profound functional transformations. While in many ways they have been proven successful in reviving prime urban areas, waterfront redevelopments have also been contested. This article reviews several aspects of the planning conflicts that have been pertinent to the redevelopment of waterfronts internationally: (1) land ownership, (2) heritage and culture, (3) social and environmental justice, and (4) environment and resilience. Based on a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art literature, we suggest that the growing concerns over social justice and environmental resilience during the course of waterfront redevelopments will continue to challenge cities in the future.

“…While the physical transformation required the progressive deactivation of port areas (some already with no activities) and its allocation to new uses, it also entailed negotiation on land ownership, future visions and interests by the different agents of the area, mainly public (central and local government, port authorities), showing the complex set of power relations between stakeholders [82]. Several authors signal the change of perspective between the waterfront as a traditional space of work versus a new space for leisure and consumption, perceived as "new lifestyle centers" [83].…”

Urban Planning Policies to the Renewal of Riverfront Areas: The Lisbon Metropolis Case

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Urban planning offers various design possibilities to solve fundamental challenges faced in urban areas. These include the need to physically renew old industrial and harbour riverside areas into liveable, inclusive and sustainable living spaces. This paper investigates the way urban planning policies have helped to renew the waterfront areas in the Lisbon metropolis in the past decades. For this purpose, the contribution of the European Union (EU) and national urban development plans over the past decades are analysed. The results demonstrate an intense renewal of the waterfront areas in the Lisbon metropolitan area (LMA), particularly in Lisbon over the past three decades into leisure, ecologic and touristic areas, vis-à-vis the previous industrial and harbour vocation.

“…For maritime unions and neighbouring communities, such trends physically and symbolically sever access to and from port spaces (cf. Jansen et al, 2018; Teschner, 2019), with implications for industrial organising.…”

The COVID‐19 coronavirus pandemic has fuelled debate about domestic industry and manufacturing in light of shocks to global supply chains and shortages of medical and personal protective equipment (PPE). Nevertheless, debates have been poorly attuned to geography and history. Calls for reinvigorated domestic manufacturing conceal the degree to which industrial landscapes are already entwined in geometries of power. This is especially so at ports—increasingly privatised—that have become sites of policy focus and biosecurity panic. Crucial trading zones, ports are being refashioned as growth machines for commodity export, energy, and logistics, undergirding national manufacturing capacity via trade and material commodity flows. Yet ports have also always been vectors for disease transmission and are central places for COVID‐19 crises. Writing from Port Kembla, south of Sydney, Australia, we catalogue five themes warranting geographical analysis and global comparison in light of coronavirus: disruptions to supply chains (with implications for global production networks); domestic industrial capacity and the future of manufacturing; biosecuring industrial sites; precarious labour and work; and vernacular emergency response capacities within industrial communities. Amidst heightened geopolitical tensions, geographers reveal how industrial landscapes are contested. Logistical and biosecurity roles are enveloped by enduring infrastructural materialities, local histories, and regional legacies of skill and ingenuity.
