We can hardly believe another year has gone by. As we reflect on the year, we are reminded of some of the people and highlights that made this year so great.
As the Hurricane Sandy Design Competition projects move towards implementation, Rebuild focused on issues such as the restoration of an urban forest in Athens, Greece; transportation and green corridors in Atlanta, Georgia; and resilient and sustainable housing in Boulder, Colorado. In the Bay Area, the Resilient by Design Challenge culminated with nine large scale resilient and equitable projects, that address issues of sea level rise, transportation, equity and ecology. We partnered with 100 Resilient Cities, Enterprise Partners and the Georgetown Climate Center on the report Safer and Stronger Cities, a federal policy roadmap towards resilience.
Back home, we formed a “study group” of Lower East Side leaders who worked with the Trust for Public Land and James Lima Planning + Development to identify an equitable stewardship model for East River Park, the first section of the BIG U. We also continued to track and support each of the seven Hurricane Sandy Design Competition projects, reporting on key moments of the processes and progress. With many of the projects completing their environmental assessments this year, next year will be even more exciting as half of the funded projects will begin construction. You can see the schedule below. |
