Throughout history, the world’s greatest port cities have
been shaped by the capricious tides of change.
On the Waterfront investigates how a port’s history shapes
the future of today’s 21st Century waterfront.
Set in Liverpool, European Capital of Culture 2008 this major
international three-day conference brings together experts in culture,
heritage and regeneration from around the world including China,
France, India, Nigeria
and USA.
Speakers and workshops offer unique insights into the issues affecting
port cities, the global city on the edge…identifying, debating,
discussing and celebrating their:
• distinct identity
• need for regeneration yet desire for
historical authenticity
• adaptability to change
• cultural diversity
Situated on the waterfront at the cutting edge where World Heritage
values meet 21st century regeneration. Themes will include innovation
and placemaking, governance, conservation, cultural and economic
transformation.
If you are working in a port environment, part of a regeneration
project; a local authority with a port; an academic or student;
a developer or a consultant working within an historic, maritime
or seaside context then On the Waterfront is this year’s essential
event for you!
