Edinburgh's Granton residents hope that the new £1.3 billion development will create more affordable housing.
Town planners are currently inviting local residents of Granton to share their views of the authority's multi-million-pound investment to see how they can help boost the area and specifically the waterfront.
The revolutionary plan of action was put together by the council in the hope the area becomes a 'new coastal town for Scotland's capital city.'

So far the plans promise to deliver 3,500 eco-friendly new homes, spaces for new businesses, creative and culture zones, and Europe's largest coastal park.
On the last day of the consultation, July 4, Edinburgh Live travelled down to Granton and chatted with locals about the planned redevelopment of the area.
Silverknowes resident for 27 years, Grant Wilson, is really enthusiastic about the investment in the area but believes the area needs more public transport.
He said: "It looks like really good quality housing, I don't know what the prices are for people to be able to afford it, but overall building in this area is good because they are constructing properties on greenfield sites.
"What bus services will serve the area? As there are not a lot of them who come down to this area at the moment, I think a lot of people who move here will need to have a car as well as the use of public transport."
Pankaj Soni, 42, has lived in the area for nine years and believes there needs to be lots of work to be done on the upkeep of the area. Alongside the new buildings, he also wants to see more green spaces.
He said: "I think the new plans look great but there needs to be more for children and families to take be able to be part of the community even basic things like parks, libraries, and schools.
"The new developments need to be maintained properly. There are so many buildings in Edinburgh that need just a little bit more care and if they don't do that there is no point in building new properties in the first place.
"As I have said before, it is great to see more housing but there also needs to be more green spaces as we don't want to have rows and rows of flats."

Nicola Alderdice, 68, has lived in the area all of her life and hopes there is going to be more social housing included in the redevelopment as she believes the city is "desperate" for it.
She said: "In this city, all there seems to be is mid-market rent or private housing. There are so many people on a good salary who just can't afford to buy property and I really hope that this development has some social and affordable housing for them.
"I'd like to see the new housing benefiting the locals because I have seen so many flats being knocked down in the area over the years."
The consultation for the regeneration of the area ends on July 4 with residents being urged by the council to submit their views here.
The City of Edinburgh Council Leader, Cammy Day, said: "It’s great to see that plans have now been submitted for the largest regeneration project of its kind in Scotland at Granton Waterfront. The PAN is for the first phase of this ambitious and exciting £1.3bn regeneration project for the city.
"Sustainable regeneration like this is so important as we transition towards a greener economy in our Capital. We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity here to build a 20-minute neighbourhood completely from scratch with affordable net zero homes, shops, cultural and leisure and education facilities all close by.
"We’ve been consulting with people at every step of the way during this project so please be a part of this transformation of the north of the city and give us your views either at one of our events or online. This will help us to make sure we get it right for those who will be living in, working, and visiting this new area as well as everyone currently living in the many established communities nearby."
