Urban waterfront redevelopment has been a significant focus of city planning since the 1970s. Effectivewaterfront revitalization can catalyze broader urban development and reposition cities internationally.1There is an emphasis on prioritizing mixed-use development, public access, sustainable design, andclimate change adaptations in the so-called sustainable waterfront developments.2 However, theseprojects often fail to provide equal access to housing and services and lack integration into the rest ofthe city.Urban integration encompasses both physical and social dimensions. Physical integration entailsensuring spatial proximity among housing areas, services, and facilities, emphasizing the significanceof accessibility to various locations and activities. It focuses on creating a seamless network with well-connected urban components, promoting ease of movement and access. Research shows thatpermeability and connectivity play a crucial role in integrating urban areas, through promoting moreinclusive and active use of public spaces and encouraging interaction.3 Socio-spatial integration ismultidimensional and includes various aspects of social inclusion. Social integration aims to achievecohesive communities through addressing economic inequality and sustainable development.4 Creatinga well-connected and accessible city is essential for achieving sustainable integrated neighborhoods,although spatial integration does not always lead to social integration. The physical linkages betweenformal and informal areas can promote interaction and reduce spatial segregation.5 The physicalstructure of settlements reflects and reinforces social patterns and relationships.6 Structuralconnectedness, measured by residents' mobility patterns across neighborhoods at a city scale, revealsimportant insights about urban integration and segregation.7 Cities with higher population densities,cosmopolitanism, and less racial segregation tend to have greater structural connectedness. However,physical barriers, controlled areas, and limited access can create "hidden" or segregated spaces withincities, impacting social sustainability by reducing interaction and creating unfamiliar places.8This paper supposes that well-integrated waterfront areas can offer more opportunities and motivationfor a broader public to access housing and utilize public spaces and services within these areas.Although there are various methods used to examine accessibility, connectivity, and integration ofurban districts and neighborhoods, there are a few that address the use of space syntax to assess theLivable Cities - LondonAMPS | City, University of LondonPage 393spatial integration of newly developed areas for non-vehicle users. This paper aims to explore whetherspace syntax analysis is a suitable tool for evaluating the spatial integration of waterfront areas with thecore city and what other considerations should be included when analyzing this integration.
