Designing for a Changing Climate : Adapting Vancouver`s Northeast False Creek to Higher Seas and Stronger Storms Keating, Jeremy
Abstract
In an effort to address the coming threat of climate change, the goal of this project is to use best practices from around the world to inform the design of the Northeast False Creek area of Vancouver, B.C. (herein referred to as “NEFC”). The timing of this project, corresponding with the City of Vancouver’s initial planning stages for the area, provides a rare opportunity to positively impact how the city is designed and built, with an emphasis on looking forward towards a world impacted by climate change. By addressing the future threats of sea level rise and increased stormwater management issues, the designs presented in this project aim to aid the City of Vancouver in moving into the future sustainably, by considering more than just traditional hard infrastructure when addressing water.

| Description |
In an effort to address the coming threat of climate change,
the goal of this project is to use best practices from around the
world to inform the design of the Northeast False Creek area of
Vancouver, B.C. (herein referred to as “NEFC”). The timing of this
project, corresponding with the City of Vancouver’s initial planning
stages for the area, provides a rare opportunity to positively
impact how the city is designed and built, with an emphasis on
looking forward towards a world impacted by climate change.
By addressing the future threats of sea level rise and increased
stormwater management issues, the designs presented in this
project aim to aid the City of Vancouver in moving into the
future sustainably, by considering more than just traditional hard
infrastructure when addressing water.
