This article examines how cities around the world have successfully transformed neglected riverfronts into vibrant urban attractions by skillfully blending environmental resilience, cultural programming, and economic vitality. It examines the economic, social, and environmental impacts of waterfront redevelopment, highlighting strategies such as public–private partnerships, adaptive reuse, green infrastructure, and smart city technologies. Its integrative approach makes it especially valuable for researchers interested in tourism geography, sustainable development, and urban development.
