Urban and industrial uses
Urban development in coastal areas supports Europe’s population growth and includes activities such as building houses, developing harbours, conducting industrial activities, and providing leisure and tourist facilities. Europe has around 280 coastal cities with populations greater than 50,000 inhabitants, including many capital cities such as Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Lisbon, Helsinki, Riga, and Stockholm.
