A healthy future for our planet depends on climate-resilient urban design. Integrating blue-green infrastructure, natural systems, and open space networks can create more livable, sustainable cities. A comprehensive approach brings together natural systems, built environments, and urban infrastructure. Early collaboration among local governments, First Nations, planners, architects, landscape architects, engineers, and biologists helps shape innovative, climate-resilient, and socially vibrant urban spaces. — #ResilientCities #ClimateResilience #UrbanDesign #SustainableFuture #ClimateAction #IntegratedDesign #GreenInfrastructure #PWLPartnership

As urbanization and climate change reshape our world, how can communities become more resilient, vibrant, and healthy? A landscape-led approach to planning and design offers a way forward—one that transforms challenges into opportunities. 1) People & Nature First – Inclusive, empathy-driven design for all living beings 2) Climate Action & Equity – Strategies for adaptation, mitigation, and social justice 3) Smarter Investments – Evaluating long-term economic, social and ecological impact By prioritizing collaboration, innovation, and sustainability, communities can grow, adapt, and thrive in the face of change. The future of cities starts with the landscapes that connect us all. — #UrbanDesign #ClimateResilience #SustainableCities #LandscapeLed

We’re thrilled to partner with the City of Vancouver and Diamond Schmitt on rezoning City-owned lands at Pacific and Hornby. This transformative project will breathe new life into underutilized properties, creating a vibrant mixed-use development that addresses critical rental housing needs. Designed with a focus on community impact, this project provides more than just housing—it creates accessible greenspaces, fosters social connections, and contributes to a sustainable urban future. Key features include: The Burrard Steps – A terraced civic plaza that provides a vital pedestrian connection between the bustling Burrard Street corridor and the waterfront at False Creek. Neighbourhood Courtyard – A welcoming universally accessible public space, activated with retail, amenities, and a publicly accessible green space at its heart. Farmer’s Market Plaza – a sun-drenched terraced plaza space offering a much-desired space for farmers' markets and other mobile food vendors. Garden Roof Terraces – a network of neighbourhood roofscapes that provide orchards and urban agriculture to enhance urban food security.

A huge kudos to MODUS Planning, Design & Engagement and the @CityofNewWestminster for leading our team on the 22nd Street Neighbourhood. It’s a true pleasure to be working alongside an incredible team with Robert Barrs, Edward Porter, Jean Roe, Cory Douglas, Scot Hein, Introba, Mark Busse, Deltares, Mott MacDonald and my team at PWL Partnership Landscape Architects Inc. on what is poised to be a transformative new urban village for the City of New Westminster!

Playgrounds are more than just fun spaces for kids—they're places where imaginations soar, and friendships are made. At PWL, we design playgrounds that inspire creativity and promote active, healthy lifestyles. From natural play elements to inclusive design, we create spaces that bring communities together.

Thrilled to see the 22nd Street EcoVillage plan advancing under the new Provincial Transit-Oriented Area (TOA) legislation! The plan for the new 22nd Street EcoVillage is poised to accommodate another third of the current population of New Westminster within walking distance of the 22nd Street Skytrain Station. Increased density within the primarily single-family neighbourhood will pay for a host of community amenities including new park space, blue-green infrastructure, community and cultural facilities and pedestrian-oriented streets. A huge kudos to the team at MODUS Planning, Design & Engagement, Cory Douglas, Mark Busse, and the City of New Westminster for their outstanding collaboration on this new urban village for New West. We’re proud to be part of such an impactful project!

Unveiling the New PWL Partnership! We are excited to share our refreshed brand, reflecting our dedication to designing nurturing environments, shaping thriving communities, and staying rooted in sustainability. At PWL, we transform spaces into vibrant canvases where history, ecology, and culture intertwine. Each project is a testament to our holistic approach, fostering environments that connect people to the land and each other. Our new logo is more than just a vessel; it's a tapestry that reflects both the rich urban fabric of our communities and the evolving legacy of the PWL team, shaped by years of practice and expertise. The colour palette and textures we use are inspired by the natural and built materials of our work, adding depth and meaning to every design. We have thoughtfully selected typography that includes Indigenous characters, reflecting our deep respect for First Nations and Indigenous communities. This intentional integration into our visual identity is a heartfelt commitment to inclusivity and honours the languages and heritage of the land’s original stewards. We are a passionate team of landscape architects, designers, and planners committed to creating spaces that are not only visually stunning but also sustainable and resilient. By integrating our global experience with deep local insights, we design environments that foster community well-being, enhance ecological health, and promote social equity. Our goal is to ensure that every project leaves a positive, lasting impact on the people and the ecosystems we influence. Join us on this journey of transformation. Let’s create spaces where nature and community flourish in harmony. #PWLPartnership #LandscapeArchitecture #Sustainability #BrandRefresh #Design #Community #Nature #Innovation #ImpactDriven
