Canton (present-day Guangzhou) has long flourished as a port city.

The reconstruction of Canton after conflagrations provides an excellent way to...

A comprehensive understanding of water systems across space and time is key, both for sustainable urban development and heritage preservation. However, so far, a clear methodology that links the exploration of the past and the protection of heritage properties to the design of the future is still missing. We argue that an exploration of heritage...

Port city territories are nodes in the global transfer of goods, people, and ideas. Their planning is controlled by diverse actors of multiple sizes and by port authorities, municipalities, provinces, and often by large corporations. As such, port city territories are unique places to study transnational urbanism. The creation of water and...

This article explores the concept of ‘green’ in architecture and urban design through the lens of port cities. Due to global pressures such as climate change, energy transition and soil consumption the planning of port cities requires new scenarios for achieving equilibrium between nature and water systems.
