City, Capital and Water
The urban waterfront is widely regarded as a frontier of contemporary urban development, attracting both investment and publicity. City, Capital and Water provides a detailed account of the redevelopment of urban waterfronts in nine cities around the world: London, Tokyo, Kobe, Osaka, Hong Kong, Sydney, Toronto, Dublin and Amsterdam. The case studies cover different frameworks for development in terms of the role of planning, approaches to financing, partnership agreements, state sponsorship and development profits. The analysis also demonstrates the effects of economic globalization, deregulation, the marginalization of planning and the manipulation of development processes by property and political interests.
ZZDP, architecten-ondernemers
A thorough overview in words and visual material of the work of one of this country's largest architectural firms. Founded in 1954 by Piet Zanstra, ZZDP grew into one of the Netherlands' largest architectural practices in the 1960s and '70s. ZZDP steps off from the architect's own responsibility in working to achieve the highest architectural quality. The designer adopts a businesslike and pragmatic role, with ideological and theoretical reflections taking a back seat. Originally ZZDP specialized mainly in housing and, by extension, facilities indispensable to dwelling. With the collapse of the housing market at the end of the 1970s ZZDP turned to designing offices until housing returned to the portfolio in the '90s.
