    abstract = {A waterfront development is already a well-established phenomenon internationally. Waterfront
redevelopment in Malaysia has taken place over the last twenty years. Many issues abounded when a city
decided to transform its vacant or underused waterfront areas. Some waterfront development projects have
successfully included waterfront attraction projects, but many others have not succeeded. Therefore, this study
aims to examine the effect of waterfront development in Malaysia. The findings of this study were based on
interviews conducted within three case study areas: Kuching’s Riverfront, Malacca’s Waterfront, and
Glennmarie Cove Riverfront. The results showed that the development of waterfront development have several
effects, both positive and negative sides. Improving riverbank beautification and landscape and increasing
environmental problem such as water pollution and flooding were identified as a main effects derived from
waterfront development in the particular case study areas. Therefore, maximizing waterfront benefits is important
for maintaining the economic value of waterfront areas.}
