Abstract | ||
Urban waterfronts are vital components of the urban landscape for cities with such areas. There are legal as well as planning implications for optimizing land uses within. An essential element to a successful policy for developing land strips along the river basin is a clear definition backed by a legal framework. A review of number of examples from different parts of the world indicates no universal approach to dealing with areas adjacent to water bodies . A survey of land uses along the waterfront of the city of Baghdad clearly indicates underutilization, which constitute a social and economic loss to urban residents. | ||
