Abstract
Physical urban planning is typically based on historic data, which include avoiding past incidences of natural phenomena such as flooding and beach erosion. However, there is little precedent in urban planning policy that incorporates scientific prediction into decision making processes with respect to physical form of a community. This article anticipates several legal issues from adaptation plans that urban planners and policy makers need to be aware of.
