This collaborative effort aims to help the Park Board reimagine nearly 20 km of shoreline to be more resilient, accessible, inclusive and climate-ready. The project involves assessing coastal hazard vulnerabilities, conducting detailed numerical modelling and developing high-level shoreline design typologies. These designs will incorporate architectural landscape renderings, cost estimates and where possible, innovative nature-based solutions—all with the goal of creating more accessible and adaptable public spaces that can withstand the pressures of a changing climate. The final plan will help guide future capital investments and maintenance priorities across Vancouver’s shoreline parks.
