The waterfront revitalization strategy is an effective way to preserve the neglected heritage, enhance identity and authenticity, and improve the quality of life. This paper presents a systematic multi-criteria approach and an analytical method in decision-making to revitalize the waterfront of Ezbet El-Borg city, Damietta, Egypt. The waterfront was analyzed according to the criteria of sustainable revitalization. The AHP method was used as an analytical tool to prioritize these criteria to make them measurable, and then suggest an effective strategy for revitalization through the prioritizing alternatives to waterfront functions then used to rank the best prospects for revitalization. The study found the most successful option is to revitalize the historic waterfront of Ezbet El Borg, due to its heritage features. This kind of revitalization plays an essential role in sustainability, as it enhances the city's identity, conservation opportunities, economic development, and quality of life.
