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.
