Back to expertise

BACA plans neighbourhoods, waterfronts and whole districts that make room for water. From river parks to floating city modules, our masterplans turn flood risk into an asset for the places people live, work and visit.

We work with cities, developers and communities to create resilient urban frameworks — balancing density, public space, ecology and infrastructure along rivers and coasts.

02Methodology

Cities that make room for water

01  Understand

We read the river, the coast and the city together, mapping risk, movement and opportunity.

02  Plan

Homes, public space and blue-green infrastructure are layered so water has somewhere to go.

03  Grow

Phased, adaptable frameworks let districts grow and stay resilient as the climate changes.
