Teamwork and collective experience can help solve the big questions, while our specific expertise can tackle the design and engineering challenges that arise in each particular place, whether they be political, stakeholder, financial, hydrology, or geotechnical challenges.

• Local context – respecting the particular local and regional context
• Inclusivity – providing a benefit for all
• Connectivity – celebrating the edge between land and water
• Revitalization – restoring existing waterfront communities into resilient places
