Engineering project examples highlighted in the Engineering with Nature Atlas illustrated the diverse opportunities and growing community of organizations and practitioners that are contributing to Engineering With Nature (EWN) practice worldwide.
Due to the strong, positive global response to the first Atlas, the editorial team are now actively planning the development of Volume 2 of the Atlas, with 50 new projects illustrating practice around the world.
Vol 1 featured two New Zealand projects – successful foreshore restorations in Wellington and Auckland. It would be great if more A&NZ projects could be profiled in Vol 2!
Nomination Criteria:
The project should relate to the following EWN key elements:
1. Using science and engineering to produce operational efficiencies.
2. Using natural processes to maximum benefit.
3. Increasing the value provided by the project to include social, environmental, and economic benefits.
4. Using collaborative processes to organize and focus interests, stakeholders, and partners.
