Coastal areas are hotspots for waterfront developments and are home to over 60% of the world’s population. Their strategic location offers easy access, making them ideal for residential properties, ports, and industry, and tourism.
However, with rising sea levels, increased flooding, more frequent typhoons, land subsidence, and escalating pollution, the need to protect and enhance these regions has never been greater. This must be done while accommodating economic demands and preserving the natural environment.
At Royal HaskoningDHV, our primary focus is to balance the impact of coastal developments with environmental conservation, local economic growth, and community needs.
We collaborate with master planners to profile landscape propositions, create detailed designs, model environmental conditions, and engineer sustainable restoration solutions – ensuring your waterfront development is integrated within the local conditions and needs.
We provide insights into the short- and long-term effects of land reclamation and waterfront enhancements using quantifiable data, modelling, and our extensive global experience. We also ensure compliance with environmental laws by facilitating the acquisition of necessary permits and legal approvals through collaboration with government agencies.
Our global track record in delivering custom, innovative, and sustainable land reclamation solutions is unmatched. Whether it is for urban expansions, coastal protection, marinas, energy islands, ports, or airports, our methods foster the development of safe, climate-resilient, and sustainable coastal environments with optimal spatial value.
