(D) are looking to its waterfront as a way of improving the quality of urban life and attracting
(E) are looking at their waterfronts as a way they can improve the quality of urban life and attract
Cleveland is singular so either A or B.

I will go with A since it is more concise. The waterfront is a way to improve quality of life.

IMO C one of the communities that are...bcos when we use "that" we are concentrating on communities and not Cleveland thus we use are...

but i think it shud be "looking at their waterfronts" and not looking to their waterfronts

looking at is properly used in E but "as a way they can improve" seems wordy to me..... and again i think it shud be to improve parallel with to develop....

so confused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually I agree now.

C does look correct. My misunderstanding on is/are.
