This book presents the possible strategies for urban change within the city of Antwerp as seen through the eyes of Milan-based architects, Bernardo Secchi and Paola Vigan who developed a Structure Plan for the city. The architects present the city in different ways Antwerp as a water-city, Antwerp as a harbour-city, Antwerp as a rail-city, Antwerp as an eco-city with a particular emphasis on the spatial character of the city. The publications narrative that shuttles between structuring visions, various scenarios, a project atlas and numerous micro-stories illustrates new methods for urbanism, with a fine balance between reflection and action in urbanism. Research information and writings are accompanied throughout with plans, photographs and illustrations.
