Description
What are effective strategies to integrate nature-inclusive solutions into waterfront design processes, to facilitate permitting, enhance structural performance, and support project delivery? Learn how to strategically incorporate nature-inclusive solutions into land-water interface projects, from design to execution, using practical approaches and science-based tools. Through real-world case studies, we will demonstrate how early, strategic integration into the design process supports permitting and regulatory requirements, optimizes constructability, and improves cost efficiency to deliver long-term coastal, ecological, and community resilience.
