Riverfronts are distinct places where land and water unite. Over the past few years, there is a rapid increase in urbanization and pollution due to which the condition of riverfronts is deteriorating and there is a necessity to preserve it. Also, there is a need to re-establish and revitalize the cultural base to make riverfronts more viable places and to promote local art and culture. Thus, converging the two identified major concerns, riverfront development and cultural hub with socio-cultural activities on a riverfront site seems idyllic in an urban context. Additionally, it would help to create a development model that can be useful to reconnect the city with the river and promote local art and culture. Along with the cultural hub, Passive recreational Landscape is considered as an essential element of riverfront development and can be effectively used to design an ecological development module for the riverfronts. This research will explore the role of passive recreational landscape and socio-cultural activities in any riverfront development project to ecologically restore the riverfront and to reconnect the river to the urban environment, focusing on the cultural background of a particular place.
