Asian cities are undertaking waterfront developments that help attract tourists, liven up environment, promote economic growth and improve the community's quality of life. However, since it would take years to complete the project, a long time is needed to generate the profit and may also be a cause to require city governments and taxpayers to pay costly debts. The project may also cause damage to the city's quality of life and natural beauty. Ways on how to achieve the benefits and avoid costly mistakes in developing waterfronts were discussed.
