This month, we have inspiring features from the region, including the Dubai Mangroves Coastal Regeneration Project, which will see more than 100 million mangrove trees planted along 72 kilometers of Dubai’s coast. The project was designed in line with Dubai’s environmental goals and the objectives of the Dubai 2040 Master Plan, focusing on urban resilience, biodiversity, and sustainable planning.
Furthermore we feature a story transports us to the heart of Montréal where we delve into the enchanting world of the sunken garden under at the Collège de Maisonneuve. Originally conceived in 1972 as part of the building's expansion, this hidden oasis has evolved into a captivating all-weather greenhouse, nestled between two pavilions in a Brutalist-style courtyard.
The addition of the glass roof has not only transformed the five-storey space but has also made the garden accessible year-round, regardless of weather conditions. What was once a simple courtyard has blossomed into a lush sanctuary, boasting mature trees and verdant greenery. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this sunken garden has become a vibrant hub for students, offering a serene retreat for relaxation, study, and socializing.
We also hear from Dubai-based Urban planner Rowan D’Arcy who provides a thoughtful reflection on what lessons the industry can learn from the recent Dubai Flood. He points out that if it taught us anything, it was “to design with nature, rather than against it.”
