Vancouver Sea2City Design Challenge
Adapting cities to be more climate resilient can bring a multitude of benefits. The City of Vancouver, BC sought to plan for future sea level rise and help flood-vulnerable shoreline communities and businesses become more resilient. Herrera, as part of the Mithun-One team on the Sea2City Design Challenge, supported the City in visioning sea level rise adaptation through a decolonialist lens. The effort was led by leadership from Host First Nations (Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh, and Squamish). The resulting sea level rise adaptation plans incorporated areas of ecological revitalization, nature-based solutions, strategic retreat, land back, and sustainable urban development.
