Originating from the 3rd Conference on Coastal Cities, the papers
contained in this volume presents important research covering the
integrated management and sustainable development of coastal
cities. An increased world population and the preference for living
in coastal regions increases the need for improved resources,
infrastructure and services. Coastal cities should be considered as
dynamic complex systems which need energy, water, food and other
resources in order to work and produce diverse activities, with the
aim of offering a socioeconomic climate and improved quality of
life. Consequently the integrated management and sustainable
development of coastal cities is essential with science,
technology, architecture, socio-economics and planning all
collaborating to support decision makers. Planners need to explore
various options and models to forecast future services, plans and
solutions. Included papers examine some of these possible models
and potential solutions with emphasis in the areas of: Landscape
and urban planning; Infrastructures and eco-architecture; City
heritage and regeneration; Urban transport and communications;
Commercial ports; Fishing and sports harbours; City-Waterfront
interaction; Marine industries; Water resources management; Quality
of life and city leisure; Tourism and the city; Water pollution;
Air pollution; City waste management; Acoustical and thermal
pollution; Coastal risk assessment; Coastal flooding; Coastal
processes; Landslides; Socio-economic issues.
