What is Waterfront?
a part of a town that is next to an area of water
such as a river or the ocean.
Waterfront space can be attractive to many boaters, fishermen, and
recreationists. When offering waterfront space, a facility can attract more
visitors by adding other elements to the surrounding land area," he said.
"Many parks offer waterfront access where they built a new picnic area,
playground, RV camping, restrooms, sports fields, etc., in order to
maximize visitors to the site. Waterfront space can be more comfortable
and attractive to visitors when the entire family can find something fun to
do in the same area complex."
Waterfronts can be just the place you need to attract visitors
to your area. But developing waterfront space to make it
inviting enough for visitors takes skillful planning and some
key elements conducive for such a development.

Luke Diserio, MBA
waterfront development expert
"Not only can waterfront
space be developed for
activities on the water, but
also, the land space before
the waterfront can serve
multiple purposes as well,"
said Luke Diserio, MBA
Couple waterfront space with land activities when possible.
Study the body of water the space is in, so you know what water factors you will have
to deal with.
First, make sure permitting will be possible in the area you are looking to develop.
Benchmark other facilities that you know have success and implement that into your
space.
Safety should always be a high priority when developing any waterfront access.
Don't assume all waterfront access can be universal. Some applications call for
special needs, such as waters that fluctuate greatly, or saltwater.
Don't start any building process until permitting has been completed.
Don't put waterfront access in a limited/remote area when possible.
For the do's, Diserio said to:
As for the don'ts, Diserio said:
Best ways to develop
waterfront space
to attract visitors, as well as
some of the
do's and don'ts in planning
for such a development
Waterfront developments need to serve a purpose for some
groups of people.
"When the development can serve multiple groups of people, the waterfront development
will show to be more attractive and, thus, more successful.
Planning for Waterfront Space
"What is the body of water that you are working with, and
what does it offer? And, what are the benefits and
limitations?
Understand your water depths and currents, water variation, how high it goes up and
down, the bottom of the lake or your river, and where you have natural access points. [It's
important to] do a very in-depth assessment of the natural resources you have,"

AT THE
PUBLIC SPACE
PUBLIC SPACE
In planning a waterfront development, city officials
or a developer should begin by envisioning a
network of well-connected, multi-use public spaces
that fit with the community’s shared goals. By
orienting waterfront revitalization around public
spaces, new construction will enhance the quality of
existing destinations and result in a whole that is
greater than the sum of its parts.
While streets may be appropriate on some
waterfronts, pedestrian connections should be given
top priority, making large parking lots and auto-
oriented development out of the question.

Waterfronts everywhere are too valuable to simply
allow developers to dictate what happens there. .
This is not to say that private development is
unwelcome and should be discouraged – on the
contrary, it is often necessary to the future of a
healthy waterfront. But the best solutions for
revamping waterfronts put public goals first, not
private short-term financial objective. As long as
redevelopment plans adhere to the notion that the
waterfront is an inherently public asset, it will be
relatively easy to follow the rest of the steps here.
Community engagement – and, ultimately, local
ownership and pride – depend on this basic
premise.

Successful waterfront destinations

happens with Paris Plage, a month-

beach to the Seine River in Paris.

After establishing the public spaces and public goals,
begin the public visioning process with the existing
assets and surrounding context. Start with the
historical form and function of the site to foster a
locally grounded identity by channeling former
vibrancy into a variety of uses. Existing industrial uses
should be preserved when compatible with human
activity on the waterfront. Surrounding
neighborhoods should be integrated into the
waterfront to strengthen connectivity between
destinations. And new development should embrace
its waterfront context with appropriate orientation
and usages.

Unlike a master plan, a community visioning
process does not lock a project into a
prescribed solution. It is a citizen-driven
initiative that outlines a set of goals--ideals to
strive for--that set the stage for people to think
boldly, make breakthroughs, and achieve new
possibilities for their waterfront. Because a
vision is adaptable and can be implemented
gradually, starting with small experiments, it
often becomes more powerful through time as
public enthusiasm for making bold changes
gains support.

THE POWER OF 10
THE POWER OF 10
Through decades of work, PPS has found that the most effective
way to propel a visioning process is to set a goal of creating ten
great destinations along a waterfront, an idea we call the "Power
of Ten." This focus on destinations, rather than "open space" or
parks, enables a genuine community-led process to take root.
Residents, businesses, community organizations, and other
stakeholders all join in to help identify the key destinations and
then define the uses and activities they want to see at each
place.
After using the Power of 10 to create great destinations
throughout a waterfront, the same principle should be applied at
each destination to come up with a list of ten activities for that
spot. A wealth of things to do broadens the appeal of the
destination, encouraging round-the-clock use.

After multiple place
evaluation workshops, a
variety of community
stakeholders, public
agencies, and private firms
produced a collective vision
for a broad range of uses to
draw people to Newark's
waterfront.

CONNECT DESTINATIONS
CONNECT DESTINATIONS
ALONG THE WATERFRONT
ALONG THE WATERFRONT
Destinations should be connected to one another and incorporated into a
vision for the waterfront as a whole. A waterfront that is continuously walkable
with a variety of activities along the way will successfully link destinations,
allowing the appeal of each one to strengthen the place as a whole.
Creating these seamless connections is a fascinating challenge that involves
mixing uses (such as housing, recreation, entertainment, and retail) and
mixing partners (such as public institutions and local business owners).
Another key element is attracting people to the waterfront on foot or bike,
rather than just in their cars.
Parks or esplanades should not serve the whole purpose of the entire
waterfront. Too much passive, one-dimensional open space puts a damper on
the inherent vibrancy of waterfronts, as evident in many spots throughout
Toronto, New York City, and Vancouver, -- cities that have relied too heavily on
"greening" their waterfronts without including other public activities that draw
people for different reasons at different times. The world's best waterfronts use
parks as connective tissue, using them to link other high-profile destinations
together. Helsinki, Stockholm, Sydney, and Baltimore have successfully
employed this strategy.

PUBLIC ACCESS
It is essential that the waterfront be accessible for everyone to
the greatest extent possible. Here too, the goal of continuity is of
paramount importance. Waterfronts with continuous public
access are much more popular than those where public space
is interrupted. Even small stretches where the waterfront is
unavailable to people greatly diminish the experience.
California's Balboa Island, located off the coast of Newport
Beach, makes its entire shoreline accessible to the public
instead of giving waterfront property owners sole rights of use.
Access also means that people can actually interact with the
water in numerous ways--from swimming and fishing to
picnicking dockside and feeding the ducks. If it is not possible to
actually dip their hands in the water, people should have access
to another type of water nearby--such as a fountain, spray play
area, or a swimming pool that floats next to the shore (such as
the pools set up in the Seine during Paris Plage).

While a wide variety of uses can flourish on a waterfront,
many successful destinations embrace their natural
surroundings by creating a close connection between
human and natural needs. Marine biologists and
environmentalists today promote the restoration of natural
shorelines -- at least where marine uses do not dominate
– and advocate replacing crumbling bulkheads with
natural vegetation that will improve water quality, and
revive fish and wildlife habitat. But this natural restoration
should not preclude human use. Boardwalks, interpretive
displays, and even more active uses such as playgrounds
and picnic areas can be incorporated into the shoreline
design without sacrificing environmental benefits.

Good public spaces don’t happen overnight, and
no one has all the answers about improving a
place right at the outset. Placemaking is about
doing more than planning. Many great plans get
bogged down because they are too big, too
expensive, and simply take too long to happen.
Short-term actions, like planting flowers, can be a
good way not only to test ideas but to also give
people the confidence that change is occurring –
and that their ideas matter.

Three Iconic
Waterfronts—Two
of World's Best,
and One that Fails
Miserably
The waterfronts of Paris, Porto and Brooklyn offer important insights
about what makes a place beloved by those who live, work and play
there—and what doesn't. The secret is paying attention to how people
actually use waterfront spaces. Below we show what sparks social
activity and interaction in Paris and Porto— and how limited the options
are in Brooklyn Bridge Park by comparison.

Three Iconic Waterfronts—Two of World's Best, and One that Fails Miserably

Porto's riverfront fosters activity
all year around. Streets cascade
down from hilltops to the
riverside promenade, which is
fronted by cafes, shops and
public seating that encourages
people to to linger. This district is
recognized internationally for
bustling public spaces that
stretch over a wide geographical
footprint, enlivened by three
entry points funneling people
into every section of the
promenade. The rich interplay of
all these elements adds up to
one of the world's top
waterfronts.
Porto's Historic Old Town:
Inspiration for Doing Density Right

Public spaces
overlook the
water from
various
vantage
points, giving
Porto's
waterfront the
dynamic feel
of an
amphitheater.
The old town
is dotted with
small cafes
and food
kiosks offering
refreshment
and
relaxation.

Plentiful public seating sets the
stage for some of the best
people-watching in Europe. A
near-perfect waterside
promenade accommodates
two streams of passing
pedestrians—one looking out
on the water, the other checking
out what's happening at
outdoor cafes.
Urbanism 101: Porto's waterfront achieves appealing,
human-scaled density without skyscrapers.

Paris's New Riverfront:
The Secrets of the World's Best Waterfront Greatly-Loved New Places on
the River
Paris Plage ("beach" in French), a
bold experiment to create the
ambience of a seaside resort in
the heart of the city, lasted only 6
weeks in 2002. But its wild
popularity led to the
pedestrianization of both banks of
the Seine, returning the riverfront to
its rightful role as the heart of
Paris. The"Plage" became a model,
for a seasonal beach project we
recommended for Detroit that
helped recharge the downtown—
one of many projects around the
globe inspired by Paris's
reinvigorated riverfront.

A highway underpass
now marks the
starting point for
riverside art exhibits
staged by the Louvre
Museum—just one
example of the
inspiring
transformations
underway in Paris.
A series of mini-
destinations along
the Seine, each with
their own distinct
identity, make Paris
the world's greatest
waterfront.

Just a few
of the many
fun things to
do up and
down the
Seine.

The riverfront is
an exquisitely
social place
where
everyone feels
comfortable to
sit, play, talk,
eat or just
watch.

Left Bank—Pop-Up
Waterside Restaurants
Enliven Things

Upriver from Notre Dame
Cathedral, the riverfront
has been animated by
seasonal restaurants and
bars that remain hopping
into the early hours of the
morning.

Les Berges—Connecting the Riverfront
from Musee d'Orsay to the Eiffel Tower
Art is an important element from
Musee d'Orsay and Les Berges
extending toward the Eiffel Tower.
A giant blackboard, for instance,
lets everyone express themselves.
This new seating was an
immediate success, offering
people many creative ways to
make themselves comfortable.

Brooklyn Bridge Park is the borough's
face to the world, offering great views
of internationally renown sights like
the Manhattan skyline, the Statue of
Liberty and Brooklyn Bridge itself.
The first step for improving Brooklyn
Bridge Park is replacing the berms
with usable public space that offer
food and display art and other
cultural exhibits, similar to Porto. The
next step is converting some of the
vast expanse of riprap to playgrounds
and other magnets for activity and
social interaction as Paris has done.
Halifax built out over the riprap,
adding a significant amount of public
spaces. All this would make a huge
contribution to Brooklyn's growing
reputation as a great global city.
Brooklyn Bridge Park:
A Lesson on What not to Do
Many people
call Brooklyn
Bridge Park
the Rip Rap
Park.

This shows how much of the upland area of
Brooklyn Bridge Park is devoted to design
features. Even the setbacks that create a
seemingly natural shoreline could have been
extended to provide more places for people.

The green spaces in

feature mostly passive

Brooklyn Bridge Park's
buildings are designed as
sculptural objects, rather
than places for people to
settle in and have fun.

for the views and a chance to be

Park is hidden among the foliage
and clearly not adequate for hot
summer days.

Iloilo
Esplanade

The Iloilo Esplanade is a project in
the public realm. The Iloilo
Esplanade or simply the
“esplanade” as locals call it is a
peaceful promenade that runs
alongside the Iloilo River. It is one of
best showcases of the city’s efforts
to rehabilitate and protect the Iloilo
River and promote active lifestyles.
It is also a popular tourist spot
where visitors can enjoy a leisurely
stroll and enjoy the serene views
along the river.

TOP 4 WATERFRONT
DEVELOPMENTS IN THE
PHILIPPINES
Aqua Private Residences
The first waterfront residential
development in the country. It was built
in 2011 to target international investors,
particularly Europeans. With the view of
the historic Pasig River.
For nature lovers, a big, luxurious, and
comfortable house with lake and mountain
views is definitely a dream home. Fortunately,
that dream home is now achievable with the
emergence of various waterfront developments
in the Philippines. Providing comfortable and
peaceful living mixed with a panoramic
landscape is the primary goal of the real
estate developers who created these
waterfront developments. Apparently, living in
a waterfront residence is very satisfying and if
you are looking for homes close to nature, here
are some of the beautiful waterfront
developments in the country.
Mandara Waterfront
Residences
Mandara Waterfront Residences is a
reminder of how beautiful and irresistible
the Philippines is. With the spectacular view
of Manila Bay, the residents will surely find
out how to revive their zest for life as well as
their appreciation of nature.
Riverfront Residences
Riverfront Residences is a cozy residential
community and waterfront development
located in Pasig City. The magnificent view
of the Marikina River awaits the residents
every morning as they spend precious
moments with their families.
Pacific Shores
Living in a subdivision is nice but it is even nicer if it is a
world-class waterfront subdivision like Pacific Shores.
Surprisingly, this astounding waterfront development is
located outside the bustling Metro Manila; Pacific Shores
can be found in Talisay, Negros Occidental. This
waterfront subdivision is built next to the sea so one can
entirely savor the sea breeze as well as the eye-
catching views.

Pampanga
Megalopolis
“The objective of waterfront development is to engender an appreciation
of the water that sustains us.” — Architect Palafox
With 218,100 hectares of land area and 23 cities and municipalities, the Province of Pampanga, known as the
business and financial core of the Central and Northern Luzon regions, has been dubbed as the premier
Philippine gateway to the Asia Pacific. To maximize Pampanga’s natural and manmade resources, the province
will be categorized into four metropolitan clusters. These four clusters will comprise the Pampanga Megalopolis.
A megalopolis is a cluster of metropolitan cities, and the province is envisioned to have the following clusters:
1) agropolis, the center for food production and agri-industrial businesses and research; 2) ecopolis, the center
for environmental tourism, education, and natural heritage; 3) aquapolis, the center for waterfront development
and marine food production; and 4) aerotropolis, the airport-driven city.
Rehabilitation of the Pampanga River
Rehabilitation of the Pampanga River
One of the Pampanga
megalopolis clusters is
aquapolis, the center for
waterfront development and

Under this cluster, the
development will be centered
on the rehabilitation and
beautification of the
Pampanga River.
