| dc.description.abstract | Waterfront development has been an issue of wide concern and extensive discussion since the 1970s. This study provides more insight into the phenomenon by applying the existing knowledge to a different political and economic context. The focus of this proposal is to harmonize nature and architecture to create beauty and serene environment The magnificent views and atmosphere of the waterfront will be further enhanced by the sustainable and beautifying elements of the landscape. A phased model is proposed as a prototype of waterfront development. It analyzes waterfront development as a series of five temporal stages, i.e. pre-start-up, start-up, early development, mega projects and maturity. Each of the phases is characterized by the involvement of stakeholders, issues and events, and outcomes. An analysis of Bonny Island waterfront development suggests the applicability of western theory to cases elsewhere in a different political and economic context. The hypothesis on the evolutionary trend of inputs is tested, rendering generally confirmative results that Bonny Island is a tourist destination which has remained unexploited over the years even though it has the potential to establish a beach resort considering the unlimited natural and cultural endowment of the area. Finally, applying criteria for success gleaned from the literature, the overall evaluation of architectural responses to waterfront development can be viewed as being a success. However, the seasonality of tourism, the lifecycle of tourism products and the insufficient respect paid to local residents' interests are pointed out as possible deficiencies | en_US |
