| Abstract |
Most of the great cities in the world once depended on their rivers for trade, and communications, but industrial age has frequently left these places without a heart and the previous connection to water lost its importance. This paper will analyse the relationship between city and water. It will compare the present state of waterfronts in cities of Novi Sad (Serbia) and Bratislava (Slovakia), as the European regions that are significant by their hydrograph.
Through analyses, different criteria are being used: characteristics of present urban morphology, distribution of functional programs, social aspects, the relation to environment, historical identity and urban memory of space. The paper will critically address especially water edges (how the riversides of Danube are transformed by urban and architectural development today) and will try to develop theoretical framework for a redesign of public space on Danube waterfronts in Bratislava and Novi Sad. |
