Smart Growth for Coastal and Waterfront Communities

This guide begins with an overview of some of the challenges and opportunities that communities along the water face. Ten sections follow, one for each of the smart growth coastal and waterfront elements. Each section begins with a description of what smart growth looks like and how it may be applied differently along the water—and then offers examples, tools, and techniques for implementing smart growth approaches. The guide includes regulatory approaches as well as voluntary, incentive-based tools.

Although this document is organized by individual elements, the tools and techniques proposed in each element should be used together to support a comprehensive approach to achieve multiple community goals. The guide closes with a glossary of terms and notes.
