The public waterfront park and
the upland private development are separated by a clear boundary,
in most cases a public street and sidewalk.
Chicago's Lakefront, the Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro
and the Art Deco District in Miami Beach are some outstanding
examples. People of every walk of life, whether rich or poor,
young or old, feel secure in their right to visit these waterfronts.
By crossing the street toward the water, one has unmistakably
entered the public realm.
