| Abstract | ||
| This paper will describe a comprehensive blue infrastructure and sustainable blue economy integrating framework as a leading tool for a sustainable coastal development's creation, which is especially true as the current case study is set in Rasheed Canter, Egypt. The research aims at solving the pressing issues of coastal regions that generally include climate change effects, habitats not thriving, and/or unsustainable development practices. The blue infrastructure and sustainable blue economy strategies are done for the purpose. The methodology consists of an in-depth literature review, best practices, and case studies related to coastal development, blue infrastructure, and sustainable blue economy, which form the basis for the proposed framework. The stakeholders comprising government, academia, civil society, and the private sector gather together and take part in formulating combined and inclusive strategies, keeping into consideration Rasheed Canter`s local traits. The research helps them decide on how to include blue infrastructure and sustainable blue economy into the planning of the coastal area such that to ensure that Rasheed Canter and its neighboring communities benefit from rebuilding efforts, disaster resilience, fairness and environmental management. In the end, the framework proposed has a potential of being a blueprint for sustainable coastal development, which can be of a great inspiration for similar initiatives in coastal regions all over the world. | ||
