RIVERFRONT DEVELOPMENT

INTRODUCTION
Riverfront development refers to any development in front of a river. Riverfront development
may not need to be fronting a river but may only need to look connected to the river. It is the
interface of the aquatic and the terrestrial.
Riverfronts are often the most valuable resource of a city. Also cities seek a riverfront zone
that is a place of public enjoyment, ample visual and public access to both the water and the
land. These riverfronts have the potential to become the cultural and heritage hubs of the city
that lie on the banks or shores of the waterfront as well as attract people from the city and
also tourists.
