Call Description:
There is high demand for waterfront land. While many great cities became what they are because of their proximity to ports, today’s maritime freight uses are often seen to limit community waterfront access. At the same time, ports face extreme land development pressures from cities wanting to use waterfront land for non-maritime purposes, limiting their expansion potential. Do maritime freight and civic/residential uses have to be at odds with each other? Is there evidence that today’s working waterfront can peacefully coexist with residential communities and non-freight uses? Are there lessons from successful coexistence of waterfront uses that can be applied to port development projects of the future? Committees are interested in case studies and research focused on how waterborne freight activities and civic/residential/recreational uses on the waterfront can coexist.
Subject Areas(s):
