Project for Public Spaces begins their waterfront development suggestions with: "1. Make public goals the primary objective. The best solutions for waterfronts put public goals first, not short-term financial expediency. As long as plans adhere to the notion that the waterfront is an inherently public asset, then many of the following steps can be pursued successfully. Community engagement — and, ultimately, local ownership and pride — will flow from this basic premise."
