Abstract

This article is a work whose aim is to evaluate the public space as an approach to waterfront development. Waterfront is often posed as a barrier for the public to access mainly for its dominant land uses or private interests. To control the waterfront to allow the pubic access requires multi layered collaboration to reach the consensus among the stakeholders with different interests. Public space on the waterfront should become places where new ideas and lively activities can be explored where creative activity is produced. Boston Harbor is a waterfront area situated between the Boston's city centre and the eastern waterfront edge of Boston. The Boston waterfront features the public waterfront development as it seeks to transform from former industrial sites to a captivating 24/7 economically diverse and socially active waterfront neighborhood. The Massachusetts Public Waterfront Act known as Chapter 91 has played a critical regulatory role primarily to protect rights of public and water dependant uses at the water's edge. With this regulatory framework, Chapter 91 utilizes the Municipal Harbor Plan as an effective implementation mechanism by allowing individual municipalities to tailor the Chapter 91 mandates for their own harbor and waterfront development. Especially, non-water dependant private development project within the Chapter 91 jurisdiction is required to assure the publicly accessible and active waterfront development. The paper reviews an assessment of how it adapts affect and exploits an existing urban pattern and concludes with the establishment of the design method of waterfront.
