WATERFRONT REDEVELOPMENTMIXED-USE CONCEPTIONReasons | Pitfalls | Advantages
Rockland Group Consulting | Saint-Petersburg
WATERFRONT REDEVELOPMENTFACTS
• An incredibly valuable resource.
• The oldest heritage a city has as cities are
built along waterfront. Saint-Petersburg no
exception to this rule.
• Many stakeholders in a waterfront
redevelopment (Administration, Industrial
Concerns, Tourism, Commercial interests,
Future residents).
• A multi stage and evolving process.
Waterfront redevelopment will not happen
overnight. The process can take decades
but must adhere to an evolving general
plan. This plan must be flexible to allow for
changes to take place as new unexpected
challenges are faced over the development
cycle.

Detroit, USA
INDUSTRIAL ZONESFACTS
• Within Saint-Petersburg there are roughly 93
rivers, creeks and canals. The total length
of these waterways is about 300 km, 20 of
which are artificial canals with a total
length roughly 160 km.
• The length of rivers and canals in the
central district of Saint-Petersburg is more
than 30 km.
• Over 30 km of embankments are occupied
by industrial zones.
• Total area of the industrial zones in Saint-
Petersburg – 10,500 hectares.
• There are 3,000-4,000 hectares of industrial
zones in Saint-Petersburg applicable for
redevelopment.
• Often these zones have poor ecological
situation.

WATERFRONT REDEVELOPMENTWHY AND FOR WHAT EFFECT?
• Riverfront/Oceanfront often in advanced state of
disrepair.
• Remediation and correction of polluted
territories.
• Creation of housing, business, tourism, urban
renewal, increase of property value.
• Creation of high value, attractive, desirable
residential and commercial properties.
• Turning “problem areas” into hip trendy and
expensive neighborhoods.
• “Follow on” effect with increased private interest
and investment as docksides brought back to life.
• More efficient business and goods handling as
goods ports move to modern facilities.
• Revitalization is good for the economy and
appearance of a city and crucial for increasing
tourism.

Canary Wharf before and after redevelopment,
London, England
WATERFRONT REDEVELOPMENTWHY AND FOR WHAT EFFECT?
• A general or master plan for redevelopment of these key
territories must be agreed upon taking the interests and
desires of the stakeholders into balanced account.
• Master plan must be developed with the focus of creation of
economic growth and stability. This plan will identify and
target problematic and strategic zones for renewal.
• The redeveloped territories must be a magnet for tourists and
residents alike who must be motivated to spend time and
money in these areas. Creation of attraction zones,
entertainment districts and pedestrian areas crucial to this
goal.
• Residents can be encouraged to live in the core of city this
fights traffic and keeps life in the city center.
• Retention of property tax in city core.
• It is unlikely and, in fact undesired to close all industrial
facilities (light non polluting industrial functions should be
allowed to stay in limited quantities) as these functions act as
a "draw" and can attract both guests and St. Petersburgers
(Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco; Granville Island,
Vancouver, etc.). Rockland Group Consulting | Saint-Petersburg 5

WATERFRONT REDEVELOPMENTWHAT FUNCTIONS CAN BE DEVELOPED?
Rockland Group Consulting | Saint-Petersburg 7
WATERFRONT REDEVELOPMENTCOMMON CONFLICTS
• Port Growth/Relocation issues. To relocate an industrial concern is expensive and time consuming. In
order to accomplish this new facilities must already be in place. Facilitation of moving industrial
business a major issue.
• Land Use competition. The freed territory must have a development plan that will be balanced
between the new functions so as to not create a ghetto of one type of usage.
• Water use competition. If you flood the area with pleasure craft it can be impossible for commercial
craft to work for example. The opposite is also true.
• Financial resource competition. As these are massive projects they take very large amounts of
financing to complete. This can drag city and commercial resources away from other competing
projects. Internal competition for financing within projects can occur as well.
• Zoning conflicts can occur within newly developed territory. Master plan must address and decide
which function has priority. These priorities must not be significantly altered over time.
• There is no one correct path on how to do these projects. The project must be addressed as an
organic and distinct whole. To cut the legal “Gordian Knot” of multiple ownership.
• No clear and objective process when development areas have many small owners. Appropriation must
be done in such a way to compensate on market basis but clear the path for renewal.

further questions. “Win-Win” environment.
