Festival marketplaces , projects found in Baltimore, New York, San Francisco, and elsewhere in the United States, were initiated by a developer named James Rouse. Along with architect Benjamin Thompson, he began in the 1970s by transforming a wholesale market in Boston into a space for shops and restaurants. He then repeated the operation, using the same principle and with the same team, in other American cities. The urban concept of the festival marketplace was born.
Marking the urban history of the United States, festival marketplaces have served as models for waterfront redevelopment plans in Europe. They have directly or indirectly inspired numerous urban developments such as those in Manchester, Lyon, Bilbao, Hamburg, Dunkirk, and Lisbon.
What has become of these projects, held up as models, more than 30 years later? Revisiting these sites a few decades later allows us to take a critical look at these projects, their evolution, and to make an initial assessment of their sustainability. The purpose of the book is, in short, an invitation to study "post-urban regeneration."
