Book excerpt: A critical and interdisciplinary exploration of our world's continuously urbanizing and expanding coastline. For centuries, cities have grown and expanded onto previously saturated grounds; "reclaiming" land from estuaries, marshes, mangroves, and seabeds. While these artificial coastlines are sites of tremendous real estate, civic, and infrastructural investments, they are also the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Terra-Sorta-Firma documents the global extent of reclaimed coastal lands, and provides a framework for comparison across varying geographies, cultures, and histories. It renders visible the ubiquity and precarity of urban coastal reclamation in an age of increased environmental and economic indeterminacy. It challenges designers, developers, policymakers, engineers, and urbanists to reconsider the design and construction of land itself, and to re-imagine this most fundamental of all infrastructures along a gradient of inundation.

Book excerpt: Why and how Boston was transformed by landmaking. Fully one-sixth of Boston is built on made land. Although other waterfront cities also have substantial areas that are built on fill, Boston probably has more than any city in North America. In Gaining Ground historian Nancy Seasholes has given us the first complete account of when, why, and how this land was created.The story of landmaking in Boston is presented geographically; each chapter traces landmaking in a different part of the city from its first permanent settlement to the present. Seasholes introduces findings from recent archaeological investigations in Boston, and relates landmaking to the major historical developments that shaped it. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, landmaking in Boston was spurred by the rapid growth that resulted from the burgeoning China trade. The influx of Irish immigrants in the mid-nineteenth century prompted several large projects to create residential land—not for the Irish, but to keep the taxpaying Yankees from fleeing to the suburbs. Many landmaking projects were undertaken to cover tidal flats that had been polluted by raw sewage discharged directly onto them, removing the "pestilential exhalations" thought to cause illness. Land was also added for port developments, public parks, and transportation facilities, including the largest landmaking project of all, the airport. A separate chapter discusses the technology of landmaking in Boston, explaining the basic method used to make land and the changes in its various components over time. The book is copiously illustrated with maps that show the original shoreline in relation to today's streets, details from historical maps that trace the progress of landmaking, and historical drawings and photographs.

Book excerpt: This paper looks at one possible development strategy for the inner city of Winnipeg, a strategy consistent with forecasts that the city will experience continued low growth to the year 2000. The proposed strategy of inner city stabilization recognizes that technological change has created an excess supply of downtown land in the inner city. The strategy involves the reclamation of obsolete industrial & commercial land in the downtown in order to create modern residential subdivisions which would border on a more compact downtown. It also proposes that land banking initiatives be undertaken in concert with the reclamation activities. Options for implementing the strategy are discussed and examples of potential reclamation parcels are identified.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The population of Bangladesh is increasing and land is being converted from productive purposes to other uses. Present per capita agricultural land of 0.056 hectare will be decreased to 0.025 hectare by 2050. Land reclamation would offer a new dimension of poverty alleviation by allocating new lands to landless people and for other productive development. In such context this book aims to explore on the apposite land reclamation techniques and new town development strategy in Bangladesh. To generate this book; basic concepts, available techniques some cities developed on reclaimed land have been studied to produce ideas about major difficulties to develop such cities. Besides that the driving forces of land reclamation for Bangladesh are also tried to find out. Based on these driving forces, rate of land accretion and erosion and analysis of basic features of Bay of Bengal, potential locations of land reclamation have been identified. Project inflow-outflow activities have been discussed to conceptualize and generate the project. Finally, a group of actors has been delineated who could get involved in the initiation and implementation of land reclamation projects.
