ποΈ Blue Cities β Urban Innovation & Coastal Resilience
π Introduction β Living With the Sea, Not Against It
For centuries, cities have turned their backs on the sea. Ports were fenced, coasts were polluted, and urban planning ignored the tides.
Now, in the era of climate adaptation, humanity is returning to the shore β building Blue Cities, where innovation, architecture, and sustainability coexist with nature.
Avin International envisions a future where ports and coastal communities evolve into climate-resilient ecosystems that protect both people and the planet.
