Abstract
Rivers are very close to human life. Human civilizations have originated and flourished from the
banks of rivers. Many famous cities all over the world are generally located at the junctions of
rivers and the sea. Riverfront development can be an opportunity for developing the city.
Developed cities without proper waterfront cannot be imagined. Proper waterfront development
adds beauty to the urban city and connects humans with water. But due to overpopulation and
unmanaged urbanization, rivers today have become highly polluted. They have become places
for dumping. Waterfronts are highly neglected, and they have lost connection with the cities and
humans. Riverfront development in the present context Is a very common term to us. The urban
community receives various characteristics from the development of waterfronts. Waterfront
development is totally a public asset. Riverfront development not only increases the beauty of
the river but also its surroundings and increases the aesthetics of the city. It also helps to attract
activities in the riverside areas and helps to grow the economy of the place. This research has
studied the urban waterfront along the Tinau River, Butwal discussing the connection between
the river, people, and the city for its improvement and sustainable development.
