ABSTRACT

This chapter explores a palette of urban and suburban place typologies that integrate movement and place functions. The intensity of activities in urban cores led to overburdened basic services and gave rise to pollution, unhygienic living conditions, and unplanned development. Jane Jacobs argues that modernist urban planning destroyed communities and decimated their economies by creating isolated, inefficient, and unnatural urban spaces as well as car-dependent urban growth. De-industrialization of the inner core led to urban decay with high unemployment, poverty, and a degraded physical environment. Many railway yards servicing the industrial system became redundant and abandoned brownfields in post-industrial cities; others were left isolated when the surrounding land uses became defunct. These yards were strategically located within the inner-city core, so the challenge is to redevelop them as connected places by minimizing gentrification and creating inclusive and equitable places. Urban ports were the economic heart of cities and countries in the 1960s.
