Figure 11.23 Copenhagen’s Nyhavn district. A key port from the 1600s to the early 1900s, Nyhavn was abandoned by the shipping industry as ship size increased after World War II. In the mid-1960s, the city slapped on fresh coats of bright paint and hauled in antique sailing ships to create one of the most recognizable historic ports in the world. Can you think of other historic waterfronts that have been similarly restored to create iconic urban landscapes? (Courtesy of Roderick Neumann.)
