✎ Set the Scenario
Start with the total waterfront, then choose how much private shoreline becomes public.
◔ Allocate Programs
Adjust the A/B/C/D mix. The total always stays at 100%.
TOTAL PROGRAM ALLOCATION 100%
☞ How this works
1
Convert
Estimate how much private shoreline is transformed into public land.
2
Allocate
Distribute the converted area across ecological, active, civic, and mobility programs.
3
Compare
See the impacts side by side and export charts for your slides.

▥ Program Impact Snapshot
Which program contributes most to the selected result?
✦ How do we measure the consequences?
A simplified, assumption-based framework. Use this page in your presentation to explain the method.
AspectWhat it meansCalculation
Public Access
How much shoreline becomes publicly accessible.
Σ(Li × ai)
Recreation
How much usable public space is created.
Σ(Ai × ui)
Ecology
How much habitat is potentially restored.
Σ(Ai × hi)
Stormwater
How much rainfall runoff is avoided in one event.
(P/1000) × Σ[Ai × (R0 - Ri)]
Carbon
Gross annual vegetation CO₂ uptake.
Σ[(Ai/10,000) × gi × ci]
Economy
Construction and annual maintenance costs.
Σ(Ai × ki), Σ(Ai × mi)
Step 1 — Converted Area
Converted Area = L × Pprivate × Pconverted × W
L = total shoreline length, Pprivate = share that is private, Pconverted = share of private shoreline transformed, W = assumed intervention width.
How to present the website
Start with the “Balanced” scenario, then switch to “Ecology First” or “Social First” to show how the same waterfront produces different consequences. Use the large result cards for the overall story, and the “Program Impact Snapshot” for the internal comparison.
⚙ Default Parameters
These are the editable coefficients behind the calculator. They are placeholders for scenario exploration, not site-verified Miami data.
Program parameters
Public access, habitat, usable area, and green coverage are percentages. Runoff is a simplified runoff coefficient. Carbon is a gross vegetated-area uptake rate. Cost values are unit-rate placeholders.
Suggested use in presentation
Keep the Explore page as the main story page. Use this assumptions page as a back-up or appendix slide when someone asks where the numbers come from.
