Reconnecting port-city interfaces in regions of transition : a model for the reuse and phytoremediation of port refinery sites to reconnect them to urban, ecological and social systems

Port-city interfaces have grown apart over the last few decades, resulting in a disbalance between ports and cities. This thesis focuses on finding an approach to reuse and remediate unused industrial sites in sensitive port locations while making them ready for a post-carbon era. The project uses phytotechnologies for remediation of polluted...
