Les fleuves urbains, une opportunité ou une rupture en matière d’aménagement du territoire : une analyse comparative entre la Havel et la Spree à Berlin ainsi que la Tamise à Londres

Urban rivers present both opportunities and challenges for territorial planning, as demonstrated by comparative analyses of the Spree-Havel system in Berlin and the Thames in London. While these waterways once supported industrial activity and waste disposal, their transformation into cultural and residential hubs—such as Museumsinsel in Berlin and Docklands in London—highlights divergent urban development strategies. The study reveals that while such projects can revitalize former industrial zones with mixed-use spaces (residential, tertiary, green areas), they risk exacerbating gentrification, displacing long-term residents due to rising rents. The findings suggest that successful integration into existing urban fabric mitigates territorial fragmentation, but equitable access remains a critical concern for inclusive development.
