LAND-SEA INTERACTIONS IN MARINE SPATIAL PLANNING: A CASE STUDY IN TUSCANY

The book tells the story of the sea-land continuum based on the case
of the North Sea — one of the world’s most industrialised seas, in which
the Netherlands plays a central role. The space of the North Sea is almost
fully planned and has been loaded with the task of increased economic
production from new and traditional maritime sectors. At the same time,
it has been emptied of cultural signi ficance.
Through diverse projects from academia, art, literature, and practice,
from analysis to design, the book explores synergies for designing this
new spatial realm. Port city expert Carola Hein, professor of the history
of architecture & urban planning at Delft University of Technology, and
Nancy Couling, associate professor at the Bergen School of Architecture
and researcher of the urbanised sea, combine forces with interdisciplinary
experts to guide the reader through this complex and fascinating topic.
