Docklands
Regenerated port neighborhood
Docklands refers to areas around commercial docks or wharves, especially former industrial port zones that have been redeveloped.
The term is most associated with London's Docklands, a district along the Thames transformed from derelict shipping facilities into a financial and residential center in the 1980s: Property prices in Docklands have soared.
Other cities use the term similarly for their revitalized waterfront districts.
