waterfronts
Dockside urban areas
Waterfronts is the plural of waterfront—the land along the edge of a body of water, especially in a city or town: The city invested heavily in revitalizing its waterfronts.
Waterfronts often combine commercial, residential, and recreational uses: harbors, boardwalks, docks.
The term can also describe the area's character: seedy waterfront bars.
