Baltimore's redevelopment, if not actually inspired by museums, has engaged
and involved museums actively in the revitalization of the waterfront and the
rejuvenation of the city's economy.  The USS Constellation Museum was the
first historic attraction in the Inner Harbor, and the Baltimore Maritime
Museum, the National Aquarium and Maryland Science Center were a massive part
of making the downtown waterfront an attractive place for tourists and
residents together.  The Baltimore waterfront has been a model for other
midsize cities throughout the country based largely on its use of the
waterfront as a publicly accessible recreation area and destination for
heritage tourists interested in maritime history.

I do not know any specific articles about this process, but I know that there
have been a lot. If you have any questions about the Baltimore Waterfront or
the redevelopment, I'd be happy to talk more.

Best,
