Coastal development<\/a> in major cities has long been a terrain of opportunity and contention\u2014shaped at once by the pursuit of capital<\/a> (premium views, scarce land, and the promise of reclamation), by civic demands<\/a> for public access and collective waterfront life, and by contemporary aspirations for sustainability and place-defining urban identity<\/a>. Precisely because these agendas rarely align, extracting the full potential of waterfront<\/a> sites is never straightforward.<\/p>\n

Yet in New York City and Hong Kong, we can trace each city’s ambitions\u2014despite differing strategies, priorities, and political logics\u2014through a set of keystone projects that anchor their coastlines<\/a>. Read together, these projects reveal not only what each city chooses to value, but also what it is willing to trade off in order to build at the edge.<\/p>\n
