Edinburgh Granton Beach DESIGN CONCEPT

This aerial photograph depicts a coastal area in Edinburgh, likely near Granton, presenting a contrast between the natural coastline and past industrial land use. As a landscape architect, I see several key areas for potential improvement by Edinburgh Council: brownfield regeneration of the industrial sites to create new opportunities; improved public access to the beach through better pathways and crossings; the creation of more green spaces and parks to enhance biodiversity and public amenity; coastal management strategies to protect against erosion; and the enhancement of coastal views by strategically managing development and vegetation. These interventions would work together to create a more attractive, sustainable, and accessible waterfront for the community.
