Urban Design

Ekistics was retained by the Halifax Regional Municipality and the Provincial Waterfront Development Corporation to prepare a vision for phase two of the Bedford Waterfront, in Halifax's inner harbour. The plan calls for one of the greenest waterfront developments in the world, including heat pump recovery using harbour water, green roofs, no storm sewers, and transit oriented development. The $ 50 million infrastructure will be implemented over the next 20 years to create a showcase development for Nova Scotia.
