“…These principles are concluded from all the studies as shown in table (1). In this research, we have been guided by NOUH [17], which sets the standards and regulations for any waterfront development in five main aspects: accessibility, environment and ecology, architecture and planning, activities and land use, and safety and comfort [18]. The process of riverfront development is sequential and predictable and follows a set order of increasing complexity as seen in table (2).…”

River waterfront is one of nature’s elements which used as an additional buffer separate between the river and area around to create public space to let the society enjoy the riverfront, in general, it’s included parks, walkways, Services, and other enjoyable recreational areas. The paper indicates the principles and the aspects of the riverfront development that play an important role in the improvement of the quality of life for the human who interact with these types of development projects as representing them in the matrix especially in Egypt. The research aims are to measure the scale of development of river waterfront in Cairo by analyzing the aspects and principles of riverfront development and how they are applicable along the riverfront by comparing the development of the riverfront globally and locally. Finally, the paper expressed in the literature review the terminologies of the river waterfront and the principles and aspects of the river waterfront development to extract from them a matrix discusses the relation between them with the SDG’S. then, the subsequent analysis of the international case studies of the riverfront development around the world to use it to modify the matrix conducted from the literature review and to establish a comparative analysis to measure how much the principles and aspects of the riverfront development applicable especially in the selected case study area (Mamsha Ahl Masr).

“…The indiscriminate increase in urban development at the expense of green spaces, without comprehensive studies, leads to an increase in environmental and visual pollution in cities [12]. To reduce pollution and return to nature, it is essential to emphasize the optimal use of natural resources, protect wildlife, and promote vegetation that aligns with the climatic characteristics of the region [13,14]. Vegetation cover diversity plays a crucial role in the diversity of various living organisms and understanding their behaviours within the ecological system [15].…”

Riverbanks are one of the most effective places in connecting residents with the river, and neglecting their, especially from the vegetation aspect, leads to the natural and functional underutilization of the riverbank. Due to the lack of attention to urban green design in Baghdad and the scarcity of studies related to this aspect, the research problem of knowledge deficiency in the fundamentals of plant design for riverbank edges has emerged. Therefore, the research adopting the descriptive analysis method of the vocabulary discussed in previous studies related to the development of riverbanks to formulate a theoretical framework applicable to evaluate the local environment of the riverbank at the Al-Athamiyah site and study the impact of the location from both natural and cultural perspectives on the nature of plant design for the riverbank. The study included some indicators to develop a theoretical framework that can be applied to the current situation. The most important findings of the research are that use of local plant species contributed to supporting natural and environmental values, reinforcing the cultural aspect and local heritage and plants can be utilized to create activities that enhance the effectiveness and utilization of the riverbank.

Cultural landscapes embody historical significance, illustrating the interplay between humankind and nature over time. These landscapes epitomize the social and cultural history of regions, vividly portraying societal characteristics, events, and activities. They express the fundamental values intrinsic to these societies, encapsulating human development, and forging a connection between populations and their historical past. Cultural landscapes enhance the local cultural character, fostering human interaction on physical, sensory, and symbolic levels. They mirror lifestyle philosophies and the ideologies behind place creation, providing a consistent representation of events and locations throughout history. A knowledge gap has been identified concerning the definition of cultural landscapes and their values that could potentially foster the development of riverfronts. This paper endeavors to bridge this gap by investigating the values of cultural landscapes across various categories and their correlation with riverfront development. The research adopts a descriptive-analytical methodology, with an extensive review of previous literature to construct a theoretical framework. The study relies on the vocabulary derived from this framework to explore the realization of these values through an examination of a section of the Shatt al-Arab riverfront in Basra city, Iraq. The research verifies the efficacy of cultural landscape value indicators in riverfront development. These include spatial values represented by context, location, and historical influence, tangible and intangible heritage values, functional values pertaining to spiritual and recreational functions, social values embodied in social integration and community participation, and aesthetic values associated with place memories, elements of natural and manufactured landscapes. Cultural values are manifested in landmarks, buildings, and cultural spaces. Cultural landscape values have been found to contribute to sustainable development, steering and revitalizing numerous cultural activities and events. This has fostered enhanced vitality, deepened the sense of identity and place values, rendered the city globally competitive, and augmented its cultural value.
