Abstract

The research paper discusses the challenges and opportunities surrounding sustainable waterfront development in Jeddah City, Saudi Arabia. The city faces several challenges such as inadequate infrastructure and hasty urbanization, but its strategic location, cultural heritage, and economic potential provide opportunities for sustainable development. The paper presents a comprehensive literature review of successful case studies from other cities and regions to identify the best practices and innovative methods for sustainable waterfront development in Jeddah City. The paper recommends green infrastructure, public–private partnerships and community-based planning and design to promote sustainable waterfront development. The paper emphasizes the need for an integrated and coordinated approach to waterfront development that focuses on enhancing resilience, preserving cultural heritage and promoting social equity. The paper suggests that further research is necessary to better understand the challenges and opportunities for sustainable waterfront development in Jeddah City. The areas that require attention include stakeholder engagement, the impact of climate change and the potential for alternative financing mechanisms. The findings of this research paper can guide policy makers, planners, developers and community leaders to make informed decisions toward sustainable waterfront development in Jeddah City.
