Abstract:

Since entering the 21st Century, the waterfront area has become an increasingly important resource for urban development. How to effectively guide the construction of waterfront area, and how to effectively supervise the construction quality, these two issues are important for many cities. This paper studies the experience of the comprehensive assessment of the waterfront area in New York City, and analyzes its overall process, evaluation scope, assessment mechanism, assessment index, and assessment certification. After indepth analysis and with referring to the actual situation in China, this paper puts forward countermeasures for China’s comprehensive management of waterfront area: (1) establish integrated waterfront spatial classification system; (2) promote the transformation of fine management of waterfront construction; (3) build scientific and technical assessment framework; (4) create dynamic certification of waterfront construction quality.
