From Laurence Aurbach, of the TND Town Paper (via the pro-urb list):

I'm continuing to post a number of background research resources to the Town Paper Gulf Coast website. One resource is Dan Burden's Waterfront Trail Guide, which makes a compelling case for waterfront parks as flood and surge buffers. Burden provides many attractive photos of trails and walkways that function as both amenities and important components of flood buffer infrastructure.

Also, keep an eye on the official charrette website, Mississippi Renewal, for ongoing updates, plans and images.
