The First half of my urban critique forms a timeline that can be utilised to explore the demise of water throughout the life of the generic water-born city. Important Philisophical, cultural and social changes are identified that have has a powerful effect on our perception, understanding and use of the waterfront areas within our city. The timeline specifically targets the ideas of purity and centrality that water plays within the basic foundation of modern civilisations.
