By Isabelle Aubrun, CCCL Intern (Brown University)<\/em><\/p>\n

On June 2, Secretary of the US Department of Housing and Development (HUD) Shaun Donovan announced the Rebuild by Design Competition\u2019s six winners. Created by President Obama\u2019s Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force in 2013, \u2018Rebuild by Design\u2019 awards HUD funding to infrastructure projects in locations hardest hit by Superstorm Sandy in 2012. Rebuild by Design drew engineers, designers, urban planners, local government officials and community members together to collaboratively identify regional vulnerabilities and devise creative, implementable solutions.<\/p>\n

\"fallen-229864_640\"<\/a>All six winning projects are committed to building a more ecologically, economically, and environmentally resilient coast. The competition sought \u201cfundable and implementable\u201d solutions specifically to rebuild in Sandy\u2019s wake, as well as models that could protect New York and New Jersey from increasingly severe weather in coming years. Many hope that these design proposals will also serve as a model for coastal cities nationwide.[1]<\/p>\n

HUD will distribute approximately $920 million \u2013 from HUD Community Development Block Grants for Disaster Recovery, the Rockefeller Foundation, and affiliated foundations \u2013 across the six winning projects. Over the next four to five years, the projects will be implemented. While many have harshly criticized the region\u2019s lethargic efforts to fund and execute rebuilding efforts,[2]<\/sup><\/sup> Rebuild by Design offers a forward-looking vision to hopefully prevent future devastation.<\/p>\n

Rebuild by Design \u201chas made resilience a national priority,\u201d drawing support from government officials across the region and the nation.[3] The six winning teams cleverly identified ways to integrate the coastal and built environments in order to optimize waterfront accessibility during stable conditions and maximize safety during severe weather.\u00a0\u00a0 Secretary Donovan praised the competitors\u2019 ingenuity: \u201cIt is my hope that Rebuild by Design will inspire other public-private partnerships to spur innovation and resilience in other parts of the country\u2026 investing in these proposals, we are going to ensure that when the next storm comes, the region will be safer and better prepared.\u201d[4] In fact, on June 14, United States Department of the Interior\u2019s Hurricane Sandy Coastal Resilience Grant Program announced plans to allocate $102.7 million in federal grant money to 11 states in the Northeast most in need of protection against future storms. According to Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, these projects will focus on expanding natural protective infrastructure such as wetlands, dunes, streams and tidal buffers.[5]<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no doubt that climate change is real and that it is here,\u201d U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand reminded attendees at the Rebuild by Design awards ceremony. [6] Creative and well-funded initiatives such as the abovementioned competitions are long-awaited proof that our government, following a destructive storm like Sandy, might finally be ready to prioritize environmentally resilient development when it threatens their backyard.<\/p>\n

See below for the Rebuild by Design winning projects:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(1) MIT CAU + ZUS + URBANISTEN: \u201cThe New Meadowlands,\u201d New Jersey Meadowlands[7]<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

New Jersey\u2019s Meadowlands were flooded by a massive storm surge during Hurricane Sandy and, based on research in the storm\u2019s aftermath, it is clear the wetlands were insufficiently safeguarded from deluge. The NJ towns of Little Ferry and Moonachie, in the Meadowlands, were almost completely flooded, and residents were displaced for at least two months.[8] As such, \u201cThe New Meadowlands\u201d intends to \u201cprotect, connect, and grow\u201d New Jersey\u2019s rich wetlands by simultaneously fortifying them against future storms and making them an accessible resource for surrounding communities.\u00a0\u00a0 The new \u201cMeadowpark,\u201d building upon work already done by the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission, will build berms and marshes to protect against ocean surges and collect rainfall. The \u201cMeadowband\u201d will encircle the reimagined Meadowlands and provide additional protection to preserve the wetlands. It will provide pedestrian access to the wetlands, serve as the road for a Rapid Transit bus line and offer recreational spaces for surrounding residents.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(2) OMA: \u201cResist, Delay, Store, Discharge: A Comprehensive Strategy for Hoboken,\u201d New Jersey (Hoboken, Weehawken and Jersey City)[9]<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

OMA\u2019s project will protect the waterfronts of Hoboken, Weehawken and Jersey City through their project \u201cResist, Delay, Store, Discharge,\u201d which is expected to do exactly that with the waters from heavy rainfall, flash flooding and storm surge.\u00a0\u00a0 Hoboken, Weehawken and Jersey City were hit hard by during Sandy, but were plagued by frequent flooding long before the Superstorm exposed their vulnerabilities on a national scale. OMA\u2019s project used extreme, worst-case scenario water level projections to devise its protective measures. These strategies include coastal parks and wetlands to act as a protective wall to resist<\/em> storm surge. Civic infrastructure adjustments such as permeable pavement will delay<\/em> the impact of heavy rainfall. A green drainage system of water pumps and rain gardens will discharge<\/em> excess rainwater. Finally, additional water pumps and drainage infrastructure will discharge <\/em>the water that has overwhelmed the cities\u2019 drainage capacity.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(3) The Interboro Team: \u201cLiving With the Bay,\u201d South Shore Long Island, New York[10]<\/strong><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLiving with the Bay\u201d addresses Long Island\u2019s multiple water-based threats with an assortment of adaptive techniques for living with<\/em> the Bay, rather than retreating from its shores. The proposal calls for the construction of marshes and dikes along the urbanized coast to lessen damage from storm surge and projected sea level rise. These marshes will reduce extreme wave activity, contribute to the Bay\u2019s rich ecology, and provide new recreational water access. Additionally, The Interboro Team proposes expanding housing options on elevated land, and near public transportation. These multiple strategies will create what the Interboro Team calls a \u201cbuffered bay.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(4) SCAPE\/Landscape Architecture: \u201cLiving Breakwaters,\u201d Staten Island, New York[11]<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Staten Island\u2019s extensive coastline makes it especially susceptible to erosion and extreme wave action, as demonstrated by Sandy\u2019s devastation in many coastal neighborhoods. Instead of creating a wall between residential communities and the waterfront, \u201cLiving Breakwaters\u201d will create safeguards within the New York Bight \u2013 the part of the Atlantic Ocean that borders Staten Island. This project will create a ring of breakwaters \u2013 structures parallel to the shore that reduce the intensity of a wave once it hits land \u2013 along the Staten Island coast. Along with these defenses, \u201cLiving Breakwaters\u201d will intersperse reefs in nearby waters to host finfish, shellfish and lobsters, creating an ecologically rich waterfront for easy recreation, education and study.\u00a0\u00a0 In so doing, SCAPE\/Landscape Architecture aims to empower a \u201cnew generation of harbor stewards\u201d who benefit from their community\u2019s safety and develop a relationship with the coasts natural offerings.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(5) The BIG Team: \u201cThe Big U,\u201d Manhattan, New York City[12]<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Storm surge from Hurricane Sandy infiltrated lower Manhattan, rising to a record 13.88 feet in Battery Park and shutting off most of the island\u2019s power below 39th<\/sup> street.[13] The \u201cBig U\u201d will wind around 10 continuous miles of the Lower Manhattan shoreline, some of the City\u2019s most vulnerable coast. A mixed-use proposal, the three-part Big U will at once protect the low-lying Manhattan coast and provide a recreational outdoor space along the waterfront. A \u201cBridging Berm\u201d will protect the East River Park from storm surge and rising sea level while providing recreational space full of saltwater-tolerant vegetation. Releasable walls will be attached to the Manhattan Bridge, ready to be lowered in the event of a flood and offering decorative paneling when not in use. The Battery Berm will snake through lower Manhattan\u2019s Battery Park, fortifying inlets that allowed significant flooding during Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Finally, The Big Team proposes to replace the existing Coast Guard building with a maritime museum and environmental education establishment that simultaneously creates a flood barrier and whose water-facing ground floor offers a \u201cReverse Aquarium\u201d for visitors to observe tidal variation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

(6) PennDesign\/OLIN: \u201cHunts Point Lifelines,\u201d Hunts Point, South Bronx New York City[14]<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

The South Bronx\u2019s Hunts Point peninsula contains one of the United States\u2019 largest food distribution centers; Over 200 vendors operate on the 329 acres of Bronx land, serving approximately 22 million people and generating $5 billion in annual revenue.[15] While the peninsula emerged relatively unscathed from Hurricane Sandy, many emphasize that even the little damage it suffered during the storm indicates a need for heightened protection. Because New York City only has a two-and-a-half day food supply at any time, the City can hardly afford to have the Hunts Point market compromised.[16] The \u201cFlood Protection Levee Lab\u201d will create a waterfront greenway that enhances access to the shore and protects the neighborhood from flooding. \u201cCleanways\u201d will be a micro-grid energy generation plant to preserve the area\u2019s food supply should the main electrical service be compromised, as happened in other parts of the East Coast during Hurricane Sandy. Team leaders have included the possibility for Hunts Point residents to participate in the construction of their community\u2019s flood protection infrastructure. They hope to elicit a community buy-in to climate change adaptation and strengthen the region with new jobs, economic assets and waterfront appreciation.<\/p>\n
