Abstract
The aim of this thesis is to get insight into how the decision to restore a city-canal fits in the contemporary use of the city center. The focus lies with the visions of planners versus the perception of citizens and stakeholders on the reopened city-canal. Different purposes of reopening a city-canal are discussed. The use of a city-canal to improve place identity and create a living room effect within a city center seem to be the main reason to reopen a city-canal. These objectives are strong related to the value people attach to it. However, when a municipality makes the decision to reopen a city-canal, it is the question whether these values are taken into account. Based on interviews amongst municipalities and surveys amongst citizens and stakeholders of the same municipalities, the participation during the decision process and the perception of the reopened city-canal were tested.
