There's not much on Panther Island today. But business and government leaders think this area just north of downtown Fort Worth could become an economic game-changer.

Land acquisition and development in Central Florida are fraught with challenges including escalating land costs, complex zoning laws, and community resistance to new development. Developers must navigate these challenges while also considering environmental constraints like wetland preservation and flood risk management. Effective land acquisition strategies involve thorough due diligence, community engagement, and sometimes, creative problem-solving such as land swaps or assembling smaller parcels to create a viable development plot. Additionally, developers often work closely with local governments to ensure their projects align with broader urban planning goals, such as increasing housing density or enhancing public transportation networks. 📞 (407) 743-6593 📧 BenchmarkMovesYou@gmail.com #Broker #realestate #Realtor #BenchmarkRealestategroup #ToreyEisenman #CentralFlorida #RealEstateInsights #StayInformed

Some good comments, development to water like a moth to a flame, and a reference to Monty Python Castle in the swamp that I am not familiar with, but will be soon.
We hear a lot in the United States about the lessons we can learn from how the Netherlands has handled floodwater. One of the main lessons that we rarely learn and almost never implement is the most straightforward- stop putting new stuff in stupid places. This is certainly true for the cities of Charleston and Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. this should be the basic, starting point for all resilience planning. Yet it seems impossible in the US. It is barely discussed in this article, probably because nobody wants to read that. https://lnkd.in/e9UnUDs3

$1.5bn in relocations and a further $500m in strengthening infrastructure. Now there’s food for thought. Is the City of Newcastle viable in the medium term. What would it take to mobilise a considered transition away from the alluvial plains. When will ‘disaster’ recovery costs tip the scales so far as to make radical change the only option. How might govts facilitate the necessary shift when banks rely so heavily upon real estate returns. There’s a way forward but it’s not business as usual.
One in three properties in the LGA. And still we build on the alluvial plain where mobile sediment and orphaned mines underpin the city plan. $200m is the Council guestimate for each event. That’s with less than 50mm rain in an evening. The city is now ill equipped for intense storms and urban heat. Let’s be a little honest here. Many communities and residents of this region are blind to the realities of an evolving climate and most planning decisions are exponentially escalating the risk. It would be great to see a City of Newcastle plan based on the changes we need to make. Changes that radically redirect public resources and private investment priorities. No amount of sea walling will hold back this tide.

Here is a longer video of "River Lines", which I discussed earlier in the week. This Infrastructure for the Human Spirt at The Gaslight District in Cambridge Ontario involves community storytelling, public play with strangers and a sense of agency or choice for the public. This is how a city plays. #placemaking #cambridgeontario #waterlooregion #joyexperiments #urbandesign #urbanplanning #publicspaces

IRIS in Focus is a collection of policy-focused white-papers from our research team, ranging on topics from policy barriers to the nuts and bolts of natural infrastructure implementation. This month, we’re excited to announce that we have two new editions: Overview of Living Shoreline Permitting and Regulatory Review in North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi 🦪 In the southeastern coastal United States, Department of Defense (DOD) installations and surrounding communities face significant challenges from coastal erosion, flooding, and sea-level rise. Waves driven by wind, boat traffic, and storms can destroy fragile landforms along the coastline, not to mention sea walls and other traditional or “gray” infrastructure. This guidebook was produced through an engagement with the Southeast Regional Partnership for Planning and Sustainability (SERPPAS). It is intended to help minimize delays in project development by providing useful background information on relevant agencies, administrative processes, and the underlying laws in four key states in the Southeast region: North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. Implementing Nature-Based Solutions: Levee Setbacks and Voluntary Property Buyouts 🏡 A levee setback realigns an existing levee or constructs a new one at a distance from an active river channel, reconnecting the river with its historical floodplain. One key component of the levee setback process is conducting voluntary property buyouts of properties located between the river and the new levee footprint. For a general voluntary property buyout, a local government or entity buys eligible homes or property from willing sellers, demolishes any structures, and maintains the land as open space. A buyout thus eliminates the flood risk to people and property in that area and reduces costly flood damages in the future. In practice, these buyouts can be quite challenging. This primer builds on a previous IRIS in Focus primer that provides a legal and policy foundation for communities interested in levee setbacks. Both publications are available at iris.uga.edu/iris-in-focus
