Urban Resilience for a Changing Climate

Abstract
In the New York area, the federal Rebuild by Design competition has begun to offer some answers for urban climate resilience planning at a metropolitan scale. The competition, launched in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, sought proposals from diverse teams of architects, engineers, and researchers to respond to the new realities that the affected region must confront in planning for a future with more extreme storms. The winning projects recognize that success lies in design that reflects deep engagement with communities, policymakers, and other local stakeholders as well as a sophisticated understanding of physical and environmental concerns.
