Abstract Rizal Boulevard of Dumaguete City is considered as the city's show window and landmark that welcomes every visitor coming into the city of gentle people via any sea vessel. It is the gateway to the city's economy and most importantly is a witness of Dumaguete's rich history and holds a big part in the city's provincial charm. However, special attention should be given to this popular waterfront, because if not, this haven for the DumagueteƱos would slowly fade or worst, be gone forever. This city's breathing space, historical and cultural relic will be consumed and swept away by evolution and urbanization. The primary purpose of this research is to improve, re-create, and preserve Dumaguete City's Rizal Boulevard with the hope of bringing back the city's lost charm. This restoration program will mainly focus on expanding and redesigning Rizal Boulevard, with special consideration on the architectural character of the area. Reviewing and re-examining the waterfront's assets, potential and the people's shared value will eventually create a quality public realm that will contribute to people's health enjoyment and satisfaction. Literature documenting the history of Dumaguete City, especially Rizal Boulevard, has been reviewed. However, data gathered regarding the city's history are limited, a questionnaire survey has been employed, and face-to-face interviews and much fieldwork have been carried out. These survey and interviews had focused on the people's opinions and thoughts regarding the development. The overall data were analyzed and served as the basis for the proposal. Recognizing that Rizal Boulevard serves as one of Dumaguete's public destination for residents and tourists, this study will help revitalize the existing waterfront and provide essential amenities while retaining the historical value and character of the area. More so, this study will not only help to re-create and improve one of Dumaguete's distinguishing landmark but will also guide other neighboring cities and all small cities undergoing rapid development.
