urban waterfront
Metropolitan water's edge
An urban waterfront is the part of a city that borders a body of water—a river, lake, harbor, or ocean.
Once dominated by shipping and industry, many urban waterfronts have been redeveloped into mixed-use areas with parks, housing, restaurants, and public promenades: The city transformed its neglected urban waterfront into a vibrant destination.
