Reactivating the Riverfront, 1990-2015 covers some design, planning, and regulatory strategies deployed to reactivate the riverfront in Central London. London is a metropolitan region of nearly 14 million people covering over 3,000 square miles where redevelopment involves a dizzy array of design, social, economic and political factors, especially in the post-war period. 
The course narrowly focuses on one particular aspect of redevelopment in that city over the last 25 years by examining five or six projects (depending on how they are parsed) on three sites from Westminster Bridge in the southeast to Tower Bridge in the northwest that proved crucial for revitalizing urban life along the River Thames (1.0 hour course).
Key concepts: Section 106 Agreement, pedestrian movement, tourists, locals, circuiting, river access.
Instructor: Dr. Mark David Major, AICP, CNU-A

Hi Mark, I am Circe from the Brazilian team at UCL. I am very interested in the riverfront theme since we are now in charge of designing Recife’s riverside park. I will enroll in your course. I think this is a innovative way of teaching.
THE OUTLAW URBANIST: Hi Circe! Always happy to help out my many friends in Brazil! Thanks
