Opportunities for the development of an amalgam of park and leisure‐oriented commercial establishments in urban‐core waterfont settings exist in many U.S. cities. Public awareness of the need to enhance the environmental quality of these waterfont areas has resulted in a demand for planning and implementation action. However, the lack of understanding of urban political systems has been an inhibiting factor in the development of this park/ business concept. The major factors that influence the decision‐making process leading to the development of urban‐core waterfronts for park/business use are identified inthis paper. Understanding this decision‐making process can aid project implementation and avoid waste of planning effort in time, dollars, and productivity.
