Toolkit

The Waterfront Communities Project toolkit 'The Cool Sea' brings together the learning of the Waterfront Communities Project in terms of tools and methods which can be applied to waterfront regeneration tasks. The report is organised according to the 9 themes of the project which look at:

  • Meeting strategic objectives and fostering organisational innovation
  • Setting standards for urban and social design quality
  • Linking cities and academic organisations for regeneration

For each of themes, a WCP partner city has taken the lead to implement and evaluate approaches and tools which can contribute to better practice in waterfront regeneration. The lead partner on each theme has also drawn together learning from other cities in the project on this and other themes, highlighting the significance of transnational learning in the overall project. A concluding chapter explores some cross-cutting themes in waterfront regeneration.
