PORT TRANSFORMATIONS
Working towards a new generation of the Port - City
Think-Tank Conference in Rotterdam on 1 till 2 December 2005
Today I got an invitation for the IACP-Days in Rotterdam. This conference sounds very interesting for the VISP-Project. As first Introduction Topic the organizers write:
"What the city-port transformations during the past decade have in common is that there is often a - now - classic waterfront development, in which the former port functions have been completely replaced by urban functions like housing, offices and leisure facilities like cinemas, theatres, marinas, cruise terminals, aquaria, restaurants and terraces. Apart from the fact that this development is located along the waterfront - the former port usually has inspired the general design of it - there is often no relationship (integration) whatsoever with the operational port activities. Result is a "MacWaterfront" concept, which has taken shape in many different port cities all over the world, with varying levels of success."
