This work would not have been possible without the support from Boone Powell Family Prize in Urban Design. I cannot express enough thanks to Mr. Boone Powell, Ms. Laura S. Powell, Ms. Leilah H. Powell and other members in Boone Powell Family who generously donate the fund for this research and travel. I offer sincere appreciation for the learning opportunities which will generate great significance for my future career in the field of architecture and urban design.

Besides, I would like to give thanks to the jury from UTSOA key faculties for the nomination and evaluation.

RESEARCH ON REVITALIZATION OF URBAN WATERFRONT UNDER THE BACKGROUND OF INDUSTRIAL CORRIDOR TRANSFORMATION The world is entering the period of rapid expansion of urban space: on the one hand, urban construction has stepped into the stage of innovation and growth dominated by stock development, at the same time, the transformation and development of industrial heritage corridor has become one of the ways of urban sustainable exploitation under the constraints of resources; on the other hand, with the transition of the city from “former industrial city” to “industrial city” and then to “post industrial city”, the urban waterfront area changes from the production coastline to the living coastline, and its renewal and transformation are closely related to the revival of the city and moving towards the “global city” stage.

Western European countries completed the process of urban construction earlier, experienced a large number of waterfront space renaissance time exploration process, accumulated valuable experience and successful cases, famous metropolises such as London, Paris, Hamburg, Berlin and other cities, has completed the “gorgeous turn” in urban waterfront area, coruscating a new vitality after meeting the needs of the development of the city and the needs of human settlements, effectively improving the city function and shaping a good image of the city at the same time.

The main research scope is the urban waterfront under the background of European typical industrial heritage corridor transformation. The research object covers the type of urban waterfront rehabilitation related infrastructure transformation, the method of industrial heritage protection and utilization, the mode of ecological restoration and regional renewal, the case in the combination of industrial resources development and public life guidance.

This research analyzes the object from three aspects: firstly, the historical aspect - combing and studying the historical context of waterfront area, and looking at the revival of waterfront area from the angle of urban development history; secondly, the social level - analysis and research on the demand of urban activities, and thinking about the transformation of waterfront from the perspective of urban industrial resources; thirdly, the spatial level - containing the typical infrastructure renovation and industrial heritage protection, landscape restoration and reconstruction of the typical case analysis, from the aspect of urban architectural space to study the waterfront series of renovation and revitalization activities. Not only concentrating on the reconstruction and utilization of relevant infrastructure and remains in waterfront area, but also keeping eyes on the added value of waterfront area as an important hinterland in urban development and revitalization, besides its own revival, what revitalized waterfront area could bring to cities, communities and enterprises themselves.

Through series of visits and observations of the research objects, supplemented by text records and graphic analysis, the study will summarize the historical evolution process, benefit optimization mode and space activation type of urban waterfront revival under the background of industrial heritage corridor transformation.

The typical waterfront revitalized cities in western Europe are selected and divided into four categories: inner harbor, inland riverside, seaport, canal port, inner bay. There are four types of research cases: firstly, ecological restoration oriented - waterfront revitalization led by facility landscape construction, such as North Duisburg Landscape Park, Spreepark Berlin, etc.; secondly, taking industrial transformation as the leading direction - waterfront revival under the guidance of architectural transformation of industrial heritage facilities, such as renovation of Hamburg Warehouse Wharf, Copenhagen Experimentarium Center and its surroundings, etc.; thirdly, the waterfront revival led by the reconstruction of multidimensional transportation hub building facilities, such as Amsterdam Central Railway Station Ferry Hub, London Canary Wharf Subway Station Ferry Hub, etc.; fourthly, cultural revitalization as the leading direction - landmark building led waterfront renovation, such as Guggenheim Bilbao Museum, Liverpool Museum, etc.
