With rising sea levels and climate extremities such as floods and drought, water and hydrology are increasingly important factors when addressing landscape resilience. There is a need to think about water in the landscape differently. No longer can we control water in the environment, instead we must work with wetness to break down the hard barriers in order to encourage water into the urban landscape.

This coastal park proposal is rooted in the connection to the sea. Focused on providing a multifunctional landscape for people, ecology and water. This park and the parks of the future must take into account the dynamic challenges that climate change and extremities will have on people, ecology and water. In doing so, resilient and dynamic landscapes will lead the way for multifunctional and sustainable infrastructure throughout the urban environment.
