Abstract

New mega-projects along the waterfronts of Liverpool, Marseille, and New Orleans feature massive deep-water container ports, towering iconic architecture, maritime sculptures (Figure 3.1), and pristine land scaped parks. Rather than competing with each other over different economic visions, as in the past, port and city authorities in each case have been working together to carve out new, competitive port city identities in the twenty-first century. This chapter investigates these new developments within the wider context of different phases, mod els, geographies, and scales of waterfront development in post-industrial cities. It critically examines the relationship between the city and the port as a complex political space in which entangled cultural and economic policies are produced.
