Over the last year, a team of researchers in Portugal, Croatia and Boston have been considering how future tourism development might
better be leveraged to create more resilient coastal environments, using the Algarve and Dalmatia as comparative case studies. This
project, titled Estudo Comparativo para a Reabilita�‹o Urbana PT_HR Algarve-Dalm‡cia [Comparative Study of Urban Rehabilitation
Strategies in the Algarve, Portugal and Dalmatia, Croatia], has been further investigated through a year-long graduate research studio at
Northeastern University entitled Resilient Coastal Leisure Environments. The studio has been conducted in collaboration with the EUVG
School of Architecture in Coimbra, Portugal. The entire project has been financially supported by MSF/Neocivil as part of a European
Union research program.
