Public aquatic facilities as enablers of human-marine active interactions: An affordance-based conceptual approach By Luis Carlos Martins Mestrinho A key feature of urban regeneration projects along waterfronts is the focus on reconnecting with the wider urban environment. However, the relationship with the aquatic environment is less explored, as are attempts to promote a deeper and […]
