2. “In general, a riverfront is the zone of interaction between urban development’s and the water and a
riverfront area is considered as a unique and irreplaceable resource where it is the interface between land,
water, air, sun and productive plants. Moreover, the riverfront is characterized as a place integrating land
with water and having a natural attraction to people
Definition
Riverfront
Public space
Examples include spaces such as plazas, town squares, parks, marketplaces, public commons and malls,
public greens, piers, special areas within convention centers or grounds, sites within public buildings,
lobbies, concourses, or public spaces within private buildings.
Definition of riverfront by different scholars
Redevelopment of industrial riverfronts with public-private partnership models can be a way to utilize
existing urban riverfronts, and transform them into an inclusive public space
Types of riverfront
guo (1998) as cited in dong (2004, p. 7)-A more detailed definition by guo (1998) as cited in dong
(2004, p. 7) described the riverfront as the interface point where land and water meet, between
approximately 200 to 300 meters from the water line and 1 to 2 km to the land site and also takes in land
within 20 minutes walking distance.
wu & gao, 2002, as cited in dong (2004, p. 7- It is an integrated system consisting of multiple features,
of which the water forms the center, and enclosed by substantial objects , added the riverfront area should
have multiple features which incorporate each other and surrounded by structural and nonstructural
objects to form a focal point
Breen & rigby as cited (1996, p.5 ) assign developed riverfronts into six distinct groups: commercial
riverfronts; cultural, educational and environmental riverfronts; historic riverfronts; recreational
riverfronts; residential riverfronts; and working riverfronts
Goodwin (1999) argues that waterfront boundaries are difficult to determine and in some instance
planning efforts might focus on a small part of a larger indistinct waterfront area. He presents that “The
concept of a waterfront district helps to identify distinct nodes of revitalization activity within long urban
shoreline reaches”
Dong (2004) cites vellaga (2001) to discuss how cities now have turned to an array of regulatory tools
(zoning, design guidelines and development agreements) to overcome financial hurdles to acquire new
lands for public amenities.
A public space may be a gathering spot or part of a neighborhood, downtown, special district, waterfront,
or other area within the public realm that helps promote social interaction and a sense of community.
• The Natural Waterfront, comprising beaches, wetlands, wildlife habitats, sensitive ecosystems
and the water itself.
• The Public Waterfront, including parks, esplanades, piers, street ends, vistas and waterways
that offer public open spaces and waterfront views.
• The Working Waterfront, where water dependent, maritime and industrial uses cluster or
where various transportation and municipal facilities are dispersed.
• The Redeveloping Waterfront, where land uses have recently changed or where vacant and
underutilized properties suggest potential for beneficial change.
Trend of riverfront development
1960s - massive riverfront development began and consequently initiated the world-wide era of
riverfront revitalization.
1970s - urban riverfront redevelopment bloomed,
1980s - accelerated and continued in the future.

community
Importance of Public space in riverfront
• coordinate the water usage and supporting land base to maximize the economic, recreational
and environmental asset of water bodies
Characteristics of public spaces
• Dynamic area- Riverfront zone is a dynamic area with frequently changing biological, chemical
and general attributes
Special characteristics of riverfront
• Habitat- Riverfront zone include highly productive and biologically diverse ecosystems that offer
crucial nursery for many species
• Natural defence-Riverfront zone features such as mangrove forests serves a critical natural
defense against natural hazards
• Pollution moderator- Water ecosystem may act to reduce impacts of pollutions originating from
land such as wetland absorbing excess nutrients , sediments, human waste.
• Establish a water’s edge that is continuous, publicly accessible and magnificent.
• create a network of public spaces that attract and invite both localities and tourists to riverfront.
• require design excellence for riverfront public spaces. Provide a wide-range of public spaces that
foster culture and creativity in our city.
• ensure all public spaces adhere to a high environmental standard.
• strengthen connections along the riverfront on both sides of the river
• improve the aquatic habitat and water quality along the riverfront and integrate them with river
and stream improvements.
• maintain a consistency in riverfront design elements in all public spaces (i.e. Park benches and
lamp posts).
Various Act, laws, policy and guidelines governs riverfront development
Environmental protection act
1986
The Constitution of India also provides for the protection of the
environment. Article 48A of the Constitution specifies that the
State shall endeavor to protect and improve the environment and
to safeguard the forests and wildlife of the country. Article 51 A
further provides that every citizen shall protect the environment.
• develop strong link between existing communities and emerging riverfront communities and
spaces

A Guide to Riverfront Development
Connecting communities to the water
SMARTNET.NIUA-Riverbanks,
shorelines, riparian buffers, and river
habitat are critically important when
planning any riverfront project.
 The riparian buffer should be no less than 10-20 metre at
its narrowest, with three zones of buffer from the stream
edge inland.
 Provide a minimum walkway width of 10-15 feet for
perpendicular connections
 Connections should be accessible to the public even
when they are adjacent to private development.
 Riverfront trails should be simple and integrated with the
landscape and defined by the vegetation of the park
 Promenades should be 15-20 feet and along with 3-5 feet
tree range , a riverfront park should be considered part of
the park.
 Retaining wall must be.5-1metre of width along with
promenade of 5-10metre
 Perpendicular Connections- Provide a minimum
walkway width of 12 feet for perpendicular connections
to be maintained as an easement or public right-of-way.
Provide a minimum setback for all structures, including
fences, of 10 feet on either side of the connection.
Water(prevention and control
of pollution)1974
The act aims to prevent and control water pollution and to
maintain/restore wholesomeness of water by establishing central
and state pollution control board to monitor and enforce the
regulations.
Biological Diversity Act,
2002
. Article 48A of the directive principles of state policy declares:
“the State shall endeavor to protect and improve the environment
and to safeguard the forests and wild life of the country”.
‘Fundamental Duties’ as envisaged in Article 51A (g), imposes a

natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wild life
and to have compassion for living creatures.

along the riverfront Walk.
 Facade restoration of temples along the walk.
 Directional Signage
 Covering of open drains.
 Street lighting inspired by local architecture.
 Seating benches.
 Beautification of walkway
Proposal for riverfront walk
• The guidelines recommended widths of footpaths as per their
carrying capacity in terms of number of persons per hour. The
minimum width of a footpath in the guidelines is suggested to
be 1.5 meters, at places where number of people going in both
directions per hour is less than 800. A footpath of width 4
meters can carry 6,000 persons per hour per in one direction or
4,000 persons in both the directions
• The guidelines illustrated various design elements leading to universal access. It also recommended various lane sizes for Non-
Motorized Transport (NMT) lanes for bicyclists, cycle rickshaws, hand push carts, hawker carts, animal carts etc. It recommended the
minimum acceptable width of NMT lane for single lane movement to be 2.5 metres (p.76)
• The minimum width of a footpath was recommended to be 1.8 metres which allows minimum two people to cross each other
comfortably. The footpath should have clear headroom of minimum 2.4 metres (pp.43-44). Width of footpaths was also recommended
according to land-uses as pedestrian flow is largely determined by it.
