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, improves cost efficiency, and delivers long-term coastal, ecological, and community resilience.
Learning Outcomes:
Acquire strategies for timely integration of nature-inclusive solutions in waterfront edge design processes
Optimize ecological and engineering input within the design process to support permitting, mitigation requirements, and overall project ecological feasibility.
Flag out design stages where ecological design inputs should be included to optimize construction budgets and engineering requirements
Formalize data acquisition from existing projects to allow performance predictions and cost analysis
