Neglected sites in central parts of cities, where in the past an industry was placed, are nowadays (since about 2000) being intensively transformed in big cities of Europe. Functional changes in these areas are causing in consequence spatial and cityscape changes. The presented example of Hamburg HafenCity shows present possibilities for use of former harbours in innercity spaces. Conclusions of the paper refer to the quality of the process of harbour transformation, considering the public open space and the accompanying cityscapes.
