    La investigación llevada a cabo está orientada a cuantificar la importancia de las ciudades costeras en el mundo. Se ha realizado un detallado análisis de todas las ciudades del mundo con más de 100.000 habitantes, desde 1945 a la actualidad. Se han diferenciado aquellas que pueden considerarse costeras de otras situadas más al interior. Para ello, se han utilizado dos fuentes de información de distinta naturaleza:

    análisis de las bases de datos de Naciones Unidas y sensores remotos de Google Earth.

    Estas dos fuentes cuando se relacionan permiten un estudio bastante preciso del panorama mundial urbano costero. La visión de este trabajo es dinámica porque se ha prestado mucha atención al carácter evolutivo del fenómeno urbanizador en las costas del mundo. El resultado es de gran importancia para la gestión integrada de áreas litorales. El aumento del número de ciudades y de la población en la zona costera ejerce una enorme presión sobre los ecosistemas costeros y marinos. Es posible que el nuevo escenario que se observa en las costas del mundo exija también nuevos enfoques de gestión

    This research is aimed at quantifying the importance of coastal cities in the world. The study includes a detailed analysis of all cities with over 100,000 inhabitants, from 1945 to the present. Coastal cities have been differentiated from the inland cities. To do this, two sources of information were used: analysis of databases United Nations and Google Earth remote sensing. When these two sources are related, allowing a fairly accurate study of the coastal urban world stage. The vision of this research is dynamic because it pays close attention to the changing nature of urbanization phenomenon in the world's coastlines. The result is of great importance for the Integrated Coastal Zone Management. The increasing number of cities and population in the coastal zone exerts enormous pressure on coastal and marine ecosystems. It is possible that the new scenario that is observed on the coasts of the world also requires new management approaches
