This is a collection of photos of waterfront developments in medium-sized cities located in the southern United States. It was prepared for the City of Daytona Beach Redevelopment Department as a visioning tool for possible improvements to their own waterfront.

1. Mid-Sized
Southern Waterfront
Cities
A showcase of waterfront improvements
in southern U.S. cities
comparable in size to Daytona Beach

2. Methodology
 How were these cities chosen?
 U.S. Census data provided a list of metro areas having a
population approximately 150,000 greater or less than the
population of the Daytona Metropolitan Statistical Area which
was 443,343 in 2008 (population range of 293,000 to 589,959)
 Cities lacking waterfronts were culled from the list.
 Jacksonville and Cocoa were added.
 How are they organized in this show?
 By geographic region: Atlantic Coast, Gulf Coast, and inland
rivers or lakefronts.
