The Geographical Review July 2000, Vol. 90 (3), pp. 395-417 GLOBAL AND LOCAL CHANGE ON THE PORT-CITY WATERFRONT BRIAN HOYLE Keywords: Canada, cities, communities, diaspora, East Africa, ports, revitalization, waterfronts. ABSTRACT: Successful waterfront redevelopment requires an understanding of global processes and an appreciation of the distinctiveness of port-city locations. Waterfront revitalization occurs at the problematic and controversial interface between port function and the broader urban environment. It reflects varied forces and trends, involves community attitudes and environmental sensitivities, and influences transport evolution and urban change. The revitalization phenomenon is examined using community attitudes in Canada and urban regeneration in East Africa to illustrate retrospective and prospective dimensions.
