A Guidebook for Riverside Regeneration: Artery - Transforming Riversides for the Future by Frank Bothmann
English | Dec. 19, 2006 | ISBN: 354036725X | 176 Pages | PDF | 14 MB

"Artery" is an initiative on a European scale, funded by the INTERREG IIIB NWE programme, which puts riverside restoration and regeneration at the heart of regional strategies, helping communities across Europe ‘turn back to face the water’. This book discusses the implemented strategies of the Artery initiative, including public-private-partnership, public participation, awareness programs and regional development strategies.
This guidebook demonstrates, riversides were for several centuries the backbone of economic development. The Artery partnership brings together five metropolitan regions, namely the Ruhr District, Rhine- Neckar and Stuttgart- Neckar in Germany, Mersey Basin in England’s North West and Hollandsche IJssel in the Netherlands. Each represents declining industrial areas which suffer from heavy industrial heritage that hinders re-vitalization. With the decline of major industries such as steel, coal or shipbuilding, their riversides had fallen into neglect and become often inaccessible.
