This new ‘green heart’ of South Bank Parklands supports Brisbane’s leisure and recreation needs at a time when inner-city population growth is putting pressure on the city’s existing parks and public spaces. Visitors can relax and gather on the riverfront’s expansive events lawn, rainforest and subtropical pavilion, which replaces restaurants damaged in the 2011 floods.

Since its construction in the late 1930s, the central beach promenade of the young Bauhaus city of Tel Aviv has played a key role in establishing the vital connection between the city and its shore. However, in all of its prior phases, this elevated boardwalk acted as a border between the city and the sea.

Situated on one of Israel’s most breathtaking waterfronts, the Tel Aviv Port was plagued with neglect since 1965, when its primary use as an operational docking port was abandoned. The public space development project managed to restore this unique part of the city, and turn it into a prominent, vivacious urban landmark.
By introducing dunes and dynamic topography that guide stormwater through the site and lifting the house 12’ above sea level, Resilient Dunescape responds to the inevitability of sea level rise by utilizing natural processes as inspiration to embrace flooding in the design. The plant palette includes native and adaptive plant species which tolerate a range of soil, light, and microclimatic conditions.

After the park opened in May 2014, an average of 40,000 visitors used the park and the bridge each day for the first month and thousands of daily users afterwards. The local media exclaimed: “the whole city is crazy about one single bridge!” And now, the Yanweizhou Park has created a new identity for the city of Jinhua.
Erie Street Plaza is a flexible social space that can accommodate large gatherings and day-to-day activities, built on sustainable design principles. It is one of a series of public space activators along the Milwaukee Riverwalk, a three-mile pedestrian and bicycle corridor that connects downtown Milwaukee to the emerging and redeveloping Third Ward and Beerline Districts, and to the lakefront beyond.
The design inventively integrates sustainable stormwater, material, and lighting strategies; it reorients downtown to the riverfront and creates a flexible space for civic gatherings; and frames opportunities for new development while creating an entirely new image for the City of Green Bay. In addition, CityDeck was designed to withstand a 100 year flood.
