Learning from the Netherlands, water infrastructure challenges equal design opportunities in Virginia.
Dutch Dialogues® Virginia integrates regional planning to direct redevelopment and address flooding in coastal and riverine conditions.
In the Hampton Roads region—specifically the cities of Norfolk, Hampton, and Newport News—tidal flooding and storm surge are prime water management challenges.
Examining bay, harbor, river, and inland stream conditions, the Dutch Dialogues® workshops sought opportunities that increase value and safety at multiple scales: region, city, and neighborhood.
