Synopsis

Riverfront Cities delves into the crucial intersection of urban development and riverfronts, highlighting how cities can harness these natural resources for economic growth and enhanced recreational opportunities. The book emphasizes the need for a holistic approach considering economic viability, environmental sustainability, and community engagement.

 
Discover how successful riverfront development can significantly impact a city's financial health, as seen in case studies like the Cheonggyecheon River restoration, where land value appreciation and tourism revenue generation played key roles. Exploring interwoven concepts of urban economics and architectural design, the book analyzes various global case studies, contrasting successful and unsuccessful projects. It argues that successful riverfronts must be economically viable and aesthetically pleasing.

 
A key insight is that prioritizing short-term economic gains over long-term ecological health can lead to failure, underscoring the importance of urban resilience and environmental sustainability. The book progresses through three sections: an introduction to riverfront economics, detailed case studies, and best practice recommendations. It offers actionable strategies for cities aiming to revitalize their waterfronts, addressing critical issues like climate change and its impact on adaptive designs. By integrating economic and architectural perspectives, Riverfront Cities provides valuable insights for urban planners, architects, policymakers, and anyone interested in creating vibrant, sustainable urban waterfronts.

    Known internationally as The Dean Of Risk Arbitrage, Guy Wyser-Pratte is a force majeure of shareholder activism. 
    Born to a Hungarian-Jewish father and an Austrian-Catholic mother, Guy (Ghee) has lived a life shaped by history, ambition, and risk. From an idyllic childhood on the beaches of Cannes to narrowly escaping war-torn Europe, his journey is one of resilience, fortune, and survival against all odds. His background as a US Marine Corps infantry officer foreshadows his ability to lead into a storm. 
    At just five years old, Guy was moments from death while attempting to crawl to freedom through a hole in a fence to Switzerland from Occupied Annecy, France. That near-death experience at the business end of a Nazi soldier's rifle, forever imprinted on his memory-becomming a defining moment of his life: a lesson in the fragility of fate, the necessity of taking risks when the stakes are highest, and the courage to cut your own path. 
    "Every time I uncovered corporate misbehavior at the expense of shareholders, I felt an immediate surge of purpose. I wasn't built to sit quietly and passively sweat out individual risk-arbitrage deals. That just wasn't me. By the 1990s, I was actively going after managements in the United States that were failing their shareholders." 
    -Guy Wyser Pratte 
    "There are men who follow the rules, and there are men who rewrite them. Guy Wyser-Pratte has never been interested in the former." 
    -Brig. Gen. Thomas V. Draude 
    Guy P. Wyser-Pratte, MBA is considered by many to be the founding father of shareholder activism. He is a U.S. Marine Corps Officer, an award-winning and celebrated arbatrageur, a fund manager with 38% returns, and sports a storied history of iconic, disruptive mischief in the name of shareholder value.
