The natural landscape of the North Shore of Vancouver is a mountainous one extending from sea level to ~1400 m. Land below ~400 m has been undergoing increasing urbanization since the 1950s. Development has encroached on areas subject to natural hazards such as floods, debris flows, slope failures, and coastal inundation. We will visit examples of these urban hazards, discuss problems of hazard identification in a forested landscape, and review urban planning and engineering responses to hazard management.
