waterfront economic development

Waterfront economic development involves revitalizing and utilizing areas along rivers, lakes, or oceans to boost local economies. This process includes improving infrastructure, encouraging mixed-use projects like parks, shops, and offices, and attracting businesses and visitors. The goal is to create vibrant, accessible spaces that generate jobs, increase tourism, and enhance community quality of life, all while balancing environmental sustainability. Successful waterfront development transforms underused or neglected areas into dynamic hubs that benefit both the economy and residents.
