This
project aims to:

1. Study approaches for improving urban
infrastructure planning to achieve resilience goals in coastal cities for the
sustainable concurrence of the urban space with natural environment;

2. Help urban practitioners better understand the
integration of green with existing grey infrastructure and contextually inform
cities’ planning strategies; and

3. Forge an urban vision to identify infrastructure needs
and investment opportunities for the cities in the selected coastal areas.
