VILA NOVA DE GAIA RIVERFRONT Project: «Strategy ofintervention for the requalification for Vila Nova de Gaia riverfront» Location: Vila Nova de Gaia, Porto, Portugal Year: 2014 URL: http://issuu.com/catiacaetano5/docs/ disserta____o This work aims to present the work developed at Gaiurb, EM in the context of the curriculum internship of the Masters in Landscape Architecture consisting in the study and characterization of riverfronts considering them a valuable element in the valorization of the urban landscape in a historical and urban context. The first phase is composed by the analysis of state of art and aims to define the concept of “waterfront", its evolution in time and the factors that lead to the necessity of an intervention in these spaces.
After the theoretical approach, an analysis of the study site is made to the biophysical, anthropical and territorial management components. This synthesis of information allows the definition of the intervention area for a posterior characterization and proposal.
The intervention area focuses on the V.N. Gaia riverfront and has as main objective to reinforce the connection between the city and the Douro River. For this purpose, an intervention strategy on an urban level was defined in order to be able to improve this relation, assuring quality public spaces as fruition places for visitors and citizens alike.
55 strategic actions
As a result, it is proposed an intervention strategy for the requalification of public spaces, the reinforcement of connections and the increase of mobility. The new and diverse uses and functions that are proposed, meet the demand of the unification of all the V. N. Gaia riverfront in one big and dynamic public use space.
