City-Port Interface
The City-Port Interface: A Resource for Diverse Development Projects
Developing public spaces and recreational or cultural amenities in City Port interface zones to create an appealing new area.
How can residents, visitors, and businesses be attracted to Port-City interface zones?
Creating cultural clusters promotes economic development and represents an essential means of raising an area’s attractiveness, including in a crisis context. Expanding and combining cultural projects and facilities can inspire a dynamic new movement for the territory, revitalising old port areas and attracting visitors and residents. This approach not only enhances the area’s attractiveness but also strengthens the relationship between the port and the city. In London, the redevelopment of a historical neighbourhood brings creative minds together.
This good practice also includes objective 8.2 (Revising the status of port and Port City heritage to properly reflect the historical significance of sites) of the AIVP’s 2030 Agenda.
Completed in 2022, Dane’s Yard is a creative quarter designed by Waugh Thistleton Architects at Three Mills, part of the Sugar House Island development in London’s East End. The Island has a rich historical background moulded by the watercourses surrounding it.
