This paper describes a "balanced approach" to developing realistic container port plans in today's economically challenging and politically charged environment. Land is scarce, environmental proponents are less receptive to restoration in connection with port development, the economics of land creation can be tentative, U.S. port capacity lags behind the rest of the world, yet demand continues to grow. These challenges have given rise to a new focus in port planning exercises with a resulting change in the nature of plans.
