Aberdeen sea front has suffered in the past from disparate developments. Current plans for expansion of facilities are now organised under one council masterplan. The plan aims to knit existing facilites together as well as attract new residents and visitors to the area. The plan must balance human demands with preservation of the coastline.

Discuss short and long term impacts and how development will respond to changes in future need and conditions.
