Linking the world heritage and industrial waterfront : urban revitalization of Porto Interior, Macao

Urban revitalization of Macao's Porto Interior waterfront bridges the Historic Centre of Macao with its industrial past through innovative design. The study introduces nine heritage paths and functional 'celebrate nodes'—plazas, gardens, and leisure spaces—that physically and mentally connect the site to its surroundings while preserving cultural elements. This approach enhances public open space quality, improves vehicular and pedestrian circulation via infrastructure like a harbor tunnel and light rail system, and promotes accessibility through shared streets. The design vision, rooted in Macao's history, creates a unique, cohesive experience that reflects both heritage values and industrial evolution.
