| Abstract | The aim of this chapter is to sketch out the diversity of coastal urban environments across the SECOA case study areas. This is based on building up a synoptic view of cases through taking stock of their specific historical and geographical position, physical characteristics and socio-cultural and economic resources, and the identification of main users. The common attributes and distinctive features are summarised in the conclusion that characterises the trends in coastal urban environment across the SECOA cases. |
