Abstract

Urban development has always been related to the proximity of watercourses and the possibility of their use. Water in urban areas is essential for various infrastructure systems. Water areas in cities are also crucial for the population because they enable multiple activities. On the city shores along rivers or lakes, different spatial concepts are being developed that have a specific impact on the quality of life of the city's inhabitants. In this paper, the influence of such shores on the quality of city life will be examined in the example of the arranged city coast in the city of Brčko. Therefore, a structural analysis of the coast will be done, followed by an analysis of the quality of that area. The research results seek to raise awareness of the importance of these areas in cities.
