Summary

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.

    Steel Drivin' Man: John Henry...

    The ballad "John Henry" is the most recorded folk song in American history and John Henry--the mighty railroad man who could blast through rock faster than a steam drill--is a towering figure in our culture. 
In Steel Drivin' Man, Scott Reynolds Nelson recounts the true story of the man behind the iconic American hero, telling the poignant tale of a young Virginia convict who died working on one of the most dangerous enterprises of the time, the first rail route through the Appalachian Mountains. Using census data, penitentiary reports, and railroad company reports, Nelson reveals how John Henry, victimized by Virginia's notorious Black Codes, was shipped to the infamous Richmond Penitentiary to become prisoner number 497, and was forced to labor on the mile-long Lewis Tunnel for the C&O railroad. Equally important, Nelson masterfully captures the life of the ballad of John Henry, tracing the song's evolution from the first printed score by blues legend W. C. Handy, to Carl Sandburg's use of the ballad to become the first "folk singer," to the upbeat version by Tennessee Ernie Ford. 
Attractively illustrated with numerous images, Steel Drivin' Man offers a marvelous portrait of a beloved folk song--and a true American legend.
