| Summary | (Plain Language Summary, not published)
This case study describes the pragmatic approach of the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) in adapting to the impacts of rising sea level. The HRM
partnered with scientific and technical experts to obtain data to develop scenarios that speak to the concerns of stakeholders. Recognizing that time is needed to complete the planning process, HRM staff have used development agreements - bilateral
contracts between the municipality and the landowner - for a number of waterfront parcels to encourage appropriate development while the formal adaptation plan is being formulated. |
