Waterfront planning is an aspect of conventional land use planning with the focus on community use of surface water and uses of the land which will take most advantage of access to the water and water-frontage. Thus it attempts to take into consideration both the uses of the water and the uses of the land around it. Admittedly, the planner using the more conventional approach is aware of the value of the water and many good plans have been developed which capitalize on the esthetic value of a waterfront location. But in this type of planning the water forms a boundary; it is the edge or limit of some project built on the shore. In many cases the uses and functions of the body of water are not taken into consideration.
