Zhang & Ache, 2021). Met de focus op de integratieontwikkeling van haven en stad, verkent dit project de evolutie en veranderingen van de haven-stad interface in twee grote havensteden: Rotterdam en Shanghai. De haven-stad interface in dit project is een ruimte op de geografische grens tussen land in eigendom van de haven en stedelijke zones, en is een gebied in transitie, dat wordt geconfronteerd met de co-existentie van bestaande havenactiviteiten en voorgesteld stedelijk gebruik. Dit onderzoek is gewijd aan het beantwoorden van de centrale onderzoeksvraag \"Hoe kunnen de haven en de stad opnieuw met elkaar worden verbonden op basis van innovatieve industri\u00eble ontwikkelingen in de haven-stad interface?\". Deze onderzoeksvraag werd onderzocht door te kijken naar vier specifieke evoluties in Rotterdam en Shanghai: (1) historische havenstadsontwikkeling; (2) de vorming van de huidige haven-stad interface; (3) bestuursstructuur en -proces in de haven-stad interface; en (4) concrete innovatieve industri\u00eble ontwikkelingen in de haven-stad interface. De innovatieve industri\u00eble ontwikkelingen in de haven-stad-interface omvatten industri\u00eble dynamieken gepland in de haven-stad-interface en innovatie-ecosysteemorkestratie in de haven-stad-interface. Deze vier evoluties werden geanalyseerd op basis van data gegenereerd via drie kanalen: een literatuuronderzoek van wetenschappelijke artikelen en boeken, een overzicht van havenstadsplanningsdocumenten en rapporten, en 34 semi-gestructureerde diepte-interviews in Rotterdam en Shanghai. Alle data zijn verzameld volgens een kwalitatieve benadering en zijn verwerkt met een inhoudsanalyse in softwareprogramma ATLAS.ti 8. Door de analyse van de bovenstaande vier evoluties is de hoofdvraag van het onderzoek beantwoord. Geconcludeerd wordt dat de haven en de stad op verschillende manieren opnieuw met elkaar verbonden kunnen worden op basis van herontwikkeling van de haven-stad interface. Deze conclusie wordt ondersteund door \u00e9\u00e9n belangrijke bevinding: dat op basis van innovatieve industri\u00eble ontwikkelingen in de haven-stad interface, de haven en de stad in Rotterdam de neiging hebben om verbonden te zijn via een 'haven-stad'-benadering, terwijl zij in Shanghai verbonden zijn via een 'vanuit de stad naar de haven'-benadering. Dit komt omdat de twee havensteden verschillende innovatieve industri\u00eble ontwikkelingsfocussen hebben: Rotterdam richt zich op havenstadontwikkeling, terwijl Shanghai zich meer richt op stedelijke ontwikkeling. Bovendien is gebleken dat verschillende innovatieve industri\u00eble ontwikkelingsfocussen verband houden met de bestuursstructuren en -processen in de haven-stad interface.\n\nVerder onthult dit project, in vergelijking met de vorige interface (e.g. Hayuth, 1982; Hoyle, 1989), nieuwe ruimtelijke en functionele kenmerken van de huidige haven-stad interface in Rotterdam en Shanghai. Ruimtelijk wordt de huidige haven-stad interface niet dicht bij het stadscentrum gevormd, maar veel verder weg. Functioneel gezien staat de haven-stad interface niet voor de uitdaging om oude havengebieden om te vormen tot stedelijk gebruik, maar voor de uitdaging van de co-existentie en de co-ontwikkeling van havenactiviteiten en","summary":"In the past decades, the redevelopment of the port-city interface has been a prominent topic (Hoyle, 2000) and continues to attract the attention of planners and academics (Hein, 2016; Van den Berghe & Daamen, 2020; Y. Zhang & Ache, 2021). Focusing on the integration development of the port and city, this project explores the evolution and changes of the port-city interface in two major port cities, Rotterdam and Shanghai. The port-city interface in this project is a space at the geographical frontier between port-owned land and urban zones and is an area in transition that is facing the coexistence of existing port activities and proposed urban uses. This research is dedicated to answering the main research question \"How can the port and the city be reconnected based on innovative industrial developments at the port-city interface?\".\n\nThis research question was investigated by looking into four specific evolutions in Rotterdam and Shanghai: (1) historical port city development; (2) the formation of the present port-city interface; (3) governance structure and process at the port-city interface; and (4) concrete innovative industrial developments at the port-city interface. The innovative industrial developments at the port-city interface include industrial dynamics planned at the port-city interface and innovation ecosystem orchestration at the port-city interface. These four evolutions were analysed based on data through three channels: a literature review on scientific articles and books, a review of port city planning documents and reports, and 34 semi-structured, in-depth interviews in Rotterdam and Shanghai. All data followed a qualitative data analysis approach and was processed through content analysis via ATLAS.ti 8. Through the analysis of the above four evolutions, the main research question has been answered. It is concluded that the port and the city can be reconnected in different ways based on port-city interface redevelopment. This conclusion is supported by one main finding that based on innovative industrial developments at the port-city interface, the port and the city in Rotterdam tend to be connected through a \u2018port-city\u2019 approach while they are connected through a \u2018from the city to the port\u2019 approach in Shanghai. This is because the two port cities have different innovative industrial development foci: Rotterdam focuses on port-city development while Shanghai focuses more on urban development. Moreover, it is found that different innovative industrial development foci are related to the governance structures and processes at the port-city interface.\n\nIn addition, compared to the previous interface (e.g. Hayuth, 1982; Hoyle, 1989), this project uncovers new spatial and functional characteristics of the present port-city interface in Rotterdam and Shanghai. Spatially, the present port-city interface is not formed close to the city centre but much farther away from it. Functionally, the port-city interface is not faced with the challenge of transforming old port areas into urban uses, but the challenge of the coexistence and co-development of port activities and urban businesses. Besides, this project confirms the finding from Wiegmans and Louw (2011) as another characteristic of the present port-city interface: the formation of the interface is facilitated by rapid city expansion toward the active port. Based on these three characteristics, this project concludes that current port-city development in Rotterdam and Shanghai has entered a new phase.\n\n\u2018The port-city interface in the new phase\u2019 can be defined as: a space at the geographical and functional frontier between the port and the city, which is located farther away from the city centre, is created by rapid city expansion towards the active port area due to urban development, and faces the coexistence of existing port activities and proposed urban uses. In order to illustrate this new phase and port-city interrelationships in current port-city interface development, this project adds a new round of port-city interface development to the popular and typical port-city interrelationship model of Hoyle (2000). This new round of port-city interface development discusses the driving forces of the formation, the redevelopment model and innovative port-city links in current port-city development.\n\nBased on the aforementioned findings, this project advances the conceptual understanding of the present port-city interface in port cities, the port-city interface in the new phase, and the reconnection of the port and the city based on port-city interface redevelopment. Empirically, this project sheds light on how to redevelop the port-city interface to strengthen port-city connections. In terms of innovative industrial developments, this project specifically contributes to how to deal with limitations related to the basic governance structure and how to make governance settings in port cities more favourable to port-city innovative industrial developments, which are highly relevant for the port-city governors, planners, and decision-makers.","auteur":"Yueyue Zhang","auteur_slug":"yueyue-zhang","publicatiedatum":"12 juli 2022","taal":"EN","url_flipbook":"https:\/\/ebook.proefschriftmaken.nl\/ebook\/yueyuezhang?iframe=true","url_download_pdf":"","url_epub":"","ordernummer":"FTP-202604131221","isbn":"978-94-642-3869-3","doi_nummer":"","naam_universiteit":"Radboud Universiteit","afbeeldingen":14726,"naam_student:":"","binnenwerk":"","universiteit":"Radboud Universiteit","cover":"","afwerking":"","cover_afwerking":"","design":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.proefschriftmaken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/us_portfolio\/11612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.proefschriftmaken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/us_portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.proefschriftmaken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/us_portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.proefschriftmaken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.proefschriftmaken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11612"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.proefschriftmaken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/us_portfolio\/11612\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11615,"href":"https:\/\/www.proefschriftmaken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/us_portfolio\/11612\/revisions\/11615"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.proefschriftmaken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.proefschriftmaken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"us_portfolio_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.proefschriftmaken.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/us_portfolio_category?post=11612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
