Waterfront Revitalization
Waterfront Revitalization in landscape architecture often uses floating wetlands and living shorelines to help clean water and create new habitats for fish and birds. Designers use native plants that can handle both wet and dry conditions, which helps stop erosion and keeps the area looking natural. These projects sometimes use boardwalks or paths made from recycled materials, letting people get close to the water without harming the environment. Rain gardens and bioswales are put in to catch and filter stormwater, which helps keep rivers and lakes clean during heavy rain. These methods make the area better for people and wildlife at the same time.
