Waterfront regeneration in Australia: Local responses to global trends in reimagining disused city docklands
This article applies ideas about critical urban assemblages to understand the planning processes, politics, and delivery of waterfront regeneration from an Australian perspective, drawing on the Port Adelaide waterfront in South Australia as a case study. Waterfront regeneration is associated with global economic deregulation, market‐led development, changes to planning regulatory requirements, and “streamlined” governance arrangements. The globa…
The experiences of being a young LGBTIQ and homeless in Australia: Re-thinking policy and practice
Drawing on the perspectives of young lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer (LGBTIQ) people who have experienced homelessness across metropolitan Adelaide and Sydney, Australia, the article outlines many of the challenges and barriers that confronted them. We argue that traditional views in policy and practice that treat homelessness as a homogeneous category are detrimental to this young cohort. With more young people identifying a…
Understanding the Planning and Practice of Redeveloping Disused Docklands Using Critical Urban Assemblage as a Lens: A Case Study of Port Adelaide, Australia
The Port Adelaide inner harbour, like other waterfront developments nationally and internationally, reflects the bringing together of a range of elements—ideas, policies, people, capital and strategies—in reconfiguring the built form. This preliminary study investigates the utility of applying a concept of critical urban assemblage to understand the planning, processes and delivery of this Australian waterfront redevelopment. The aim is to go bey…
A Lefebvrian Analysis of Redeveloping Derelict Urban Docklands for High-Density Consumption Living, Australia
In Australia, large-scale residentially driven waterfront redevelopments have taken on a new urgency and their development has increasingly become politically, socially and economically significant as urban populations have burgeoned and governments have sought ways to house, employ and ensure quality urban environments. Through the lens of Henri Lefebvre's spatial schema, high-density transit-oriented urbanism in current planning orthodoxy revea…
Place-taking and Place-making in Waterfront Renewal, Australia
Globally, waterfronts have been used for trade, waste disposal, leisure and most recently for urban spectacle and lifestyle housing. While this has been explored in urban studies research, its relation to imperialism and colonisation has not. Waterfronts were often the entry points of imperial occupancy, trade and industry. Contestation over their value and use is integral to their constitution as landscapes, as place-taking becomes part of their…
Governing Urban Waterfront Renewal: The politics, opportunities and challenges for the inner harbour of Port Adelaide, Australia
The redevelopment of the Port Adelaide waterfront is symbolic of a new era in institutional urban planning, one that is being driven by an entrepreneurial logic more commonly associated with a market rationality. Urban entrepreneurialism describes a complex set of discursive orientations, which are evident in the planning, delivery and financing of this waterfront revitalisation. This new urban politic is considered to offer a pragmatic solution …
The Role of Urban Governance in Re-constructing Place, Economic Function and Social Relations in Urban Waterfront Regeneration: The Case of Port Adelaide, South Australia
The Port Adelaide waterfront is symbolic of a distinctive form of entrepreneurial urban governance that emphasises specific forms of capital accumulation. As in waterfront projects elsewhere in Australia and overseas, depicting Port Adelaide as an ‘urban problem’ has been critical in legitimating the public–private market-based approach to regenerating the waterfront site. This paper outlines how the ascendancy of urban governance in Australian p…
Constructing the Port: External Perceptions and Interventions in the Making of Place in Port Adelaide, South Australia
Port Adelaide, South Australia has been stigmatised as 'Port Misery' for over one hundred and fifty years. The origins of this stigmatised discourse can be traced prior to actual colonisation, having their genesis in wide political debates. This reflects the complex and contested nature of landscape, revealing that 'Port Misery' constitutes a powerful meta-narrative that has been projected onto Port Adelaide by powerful and often external actors.…
Working Port or Lifestyle Port? A Preliminary Analysis of the Port Adelaide Waterfront Redevelopment
This paper presents preliminary analysis of a larger study examining the re-making of the Port Adelaide waterfront. It offers insights into the way the processes of urban entrepreneurialism endeavour to appropriate and transform landscapes by building on a particular heritage of place while simultaneously dismantling this image to recreate an alternative form. The proposal to refashion the Port's waterfront into a lifestyle and tourist destinatio…
