Item type:Publication, Adapting Settlements to Climate Change: Transforming Former Industrial Areas Along Rivers in Germany into Resilient Mixed-Use Real Estate(Inštitut za nepremičninske vede, Ukmarjeva 6, 1000 Ljubljana, 2024)Climate change poses numerous threats in urban areas, such as heatwaves, reduced air quality, ecosystem disturbance, etc. For city areas located along rivers there is an increased risk of more frequent and intense flooding. Various riverside industrial zones in German cities were redeveloped into mixed-use areas in the post-industrial era. Therefore, this paper investigates the challenges faced by these new settlements, such as flood management, ecosystem protection, water pollution reduction, provision of public spaces, enhancement of urban aesthetics, and their connection to the real estate market on the local level. For research purposes, three projects from the German context are elaborated: Hamburg (HafenCity project), Heilbronn (Neckarbogen project), and Basel-Huningue-Weil am Rhein (3Land project). This qualitative research applies a case study approach to analyze historical documents, scientific literature, planning documents, and urban and architectural projects, thus identifying correlations among historical, spatial, social, and economic factors that influenced these redevelopments. To collect context-specific data, case study visits were conducted. Findings indicate that flood and social resilience are issues addressed in riverbank settlements through multifunctional public space design. Equal efforts are made in architectural innovation in the design of the buildings, which is highly important when adapting settlements to climate change effectively. A significant contribution is the improvement of connection of the redeveloped areas to the broader urban fabric of the respective cities. Furthermore, the newly redeveloped areas play an important role in improving the city's overall image while successfully integrating elements of its industrial heritage. Finally, this research develops valuable recommendations for policymakers, urban planners, and stakeholders involved in the development of real estate in riverside areas. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Evolution of Architectural Engineering and Infrastructural Baselines in the Riverfront: Tracing Processes and the Power Dynamics that Shaped Them - A Comparative Study of HafenCity, Neckarbogen, and 3Land Riverfront Redevelopments(Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt, 2026-01)Contemporary riverfront redevelopments are complex urban transformations that combine engineering, environmental, social, and economic objectives. Many human and non-human actors shape these projects: national and local authorities, engineering offices, experts, funding mechanisms, laws, technical requirements, natural systems, heritage infrastructures, and the river itself. To achieve a successful transformation that meets the requirements of sustainable and resilient urban development, these transformations unfold as a lengthy process of negotiation and setting trade-offs among the various actants involved in the redevelopment. The aim of this dissertation is to investigate how infrastructures in contemporary riverfront redevelopment projects evolve, are negotiated, and become stabilized throughout the redevelopment process. The research compares three cases: HafenCity in Hamburg, Neckarbogen in Heilbronn, and 3Land in Basel–Weil am Rhein–Huningue. To successfully investigate the evolution of infrastructures, from idea to implementation, this dissertation examines how architectural engineering and infrastructural baselines evolved, as well as how governance structures and power dynamics influenced these processes. To trace the change of power relations and heterogeneous relationships between infrastructures and other actors in the process, Actor-Network Theory was employed as a theoretical approach. Methodologically, the study follows a comparative, qualitative, multi-case study research design. Data on the cases were collected through systematic literature and document analysis, semi-structured qualitative interviews, and field visits. To structure the case study analysis, a phasing framework was developed. In this framework, each process was structured chronologically and deconstructed into phases of change, referred to as translations. For each translation, technical baselines emerged as gates – infrastructural requirements that had to be met for the process to proceed. Four key infrastructural dimensions in riverfront redevelopments were elaborated: flood protection infrastructure, blue-green infrastructure, active mobility infrastructures, and architectural superstructures. Finally, after each case was analyzed according to the established protocol, a further comparative analysis was conducted to identify convergences and divergences across the three cases. The results of the empirical analyses and the comparative analysis showed that each project unfolded gradually from vision to measurable parameters. The projects operated in distinct legal, planning, and hydrological contexts, which influenced how different infrastructural priorities were set: flood-related baselines were prioritized in HafenCity, blue-green infrastructures were prioritized in Neckarbogen, and active-mobility infrastructures were a priority in 3Land. The evolution of baselines into measurable parameters and the focus on requirements for infrastructural and architectural performance made architectural engineering a mediating discipline in this process for turning those requirements into tangible spatial outcomes. Moreover, flexible governance and management structures, phased implementation, and the early establishment of strong connectivity within the redevelopment areas have proven to be key factors in their success. The contribution of this dissertation is methodological, theoretical, and empirical. Methodologically, the research proposes an innovative framework for analyzing complex urban developments beyond riverfronts by combining process-based research with actor-network mapping. Theoretically, this research advances the understanding of how architectural engineering and process phasing contribute to shaping resilient infrastructures. Empirically, it provides original insights into the three cases and offers practical, policy-relevant implications for the planning and implementation of such long-term, large-scale projects. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
