Abstract:

Since the 1980s, as the most representative urban waterfront space regeneration plan in the Netherlands, the Kop van Zuid (KvZ) port regeneration in Rotterdam has influenced Rotterdam’s development model and urban form. With effective policy support and constant promotion at the operational level, the project reflected a deep change affected by the economic, social and urban spatial factors. Based on the historical background and transformation process of Kop van Zuid Port Area’s redevelopment, this paper interprets the internal drives and ideologies of the regeneration process, while analyzing the sustainable operational mechanism and transformational effects of its project planning, regional transportation integration, public space shaping, block function optimization, spatial management etc. Finally, the core lessons and shortcomings of the renewal process are summarized. Through this deep understanding on the waterfront space transformation in Dutch industrial cities, the paper can contribute to the urban waterfront redevelopment in China, from the aspects of development strategy positioning, spatial implementation, and project management.
