This webinar provided an overview of the "Big U" Coastal Storm Risk Management (CSRM) project in Manhattan that was part of the post-Hurricane Sandy "Rebuild-by-Design" initiative. Edgar Westerhof (Arcadis Climate Adaptation Solution Lead, North America) along with others from the "Big U" team discussed the Rebuild-by-Design initiative, which began in response to Hurricane Sandy’s devastating impact on the eastern U.S. and became a model to help governments create research-based, collaborative processes that prepare communities and regions for future challenges. The presenters addressed the challenges and opportunities that the "Big U" team experienced while developing and implementing this project for New York City as well as lessons and best practices that can be applied to the USACE CSRM program, and especially to projects located within our highly urbanized and diverse coastal communities.
