Waterfront brownfields are always of particular significance in cities, as they occupy a prime city location and connect to a convenient city transportation system. Climate change and sea-level rise challenges have made waterfront rehabilitation more complicated in recent years. The City of Vancouver has begun to develop waterfront brownfield networks while also taking into account climatic risks. On the other hand, waterfront brownfield regenerations offer new opportunities to integrate climate change adaptation into new city development. It improves the sustainability of waterfront communities as well as city green space interconnections. Therefore, how can we redevelop waterfront brownfields while embracing sea-level rise? The study looks into a method for revitalizing waterfront disturbed sites along the Fraser River's north arm in Vancouver's southern end. To accommodate future Fraser River dynamic floods and rising sea levels, the design intends to benefit humans and nonhumans by creating space for dynamic flood processes and human activities. The design designs anticipate a healthy and coherent integration of the local community, waterfront environments, and human activities.
