Vancouver’s coastal parks and beaches are facing significant and increasing damage and flooding from intensifying storm events and sea-level rise. In direct response to this urgent challenge, Jordan oversaw the development of an assessment of all coastal parks city-wide. Guiding a team of staff, coastal engineers, landscape architects, marine biologists, and marine structural engineers, Jordan oversaw the development of a short, mid and long-term plan for the resilience and adaptation of 23 linear kilometres of waterfront parks and beaches to ensure the resilience and enjoyment for generations to come.
