10 What are we protecting? People? Property? What risks are we willing to accept? Are we prepared for 100-year, 200- year, 500-year events? And, for what?

12 Goals Short-term: Complement work underway to recover and (re)build sustainable and resilient homes, businesses and public facilities Long-term: Mobilize a comprehensive approach to construction and reconstruction Understand the potential for natural disasters Learn the lessons from this and previous disasters Implement resilient design solutions

18 New Jersey Town Centers Distributed Energy Resource Microgrids Potential: Statewide Geographic Information Systems Analysis Identified 24 town centers in 17 municipalities across the 9 Sandy-affected counties in New Jersey. These town centers were narrowed down from a list of 62 hotspots and groupings that resulted from a Cluster-Outlier analysis in ESRI s ArcGIS. Research in collaboration with Regional Plan Association.

50 Goals: 1. Focus on Regional Scale & Solutions 2. Increase Resilience 3. Develop and Promote Innovation 4. Connect to Local Efforts

51 5 Characteristics of Resilient Systems: Aware knowing strengths and assets, liabilities and vulnerabilities, and threats and risks Diverse surplus of capacity Self-Regulating people behave and interact in ways to continue functioning to the city s purpose, dealing with anomalous situations and interferences without extreme malfunction, collapse or disruptions Integrated bringing together disparate thoughts and elements into cohesive solutions and actions Adaptive capacity to adjust to changing circumstances

52 Spring 2015 Studio, Honors Seminar and Infrastructure Planning in Practice Seminar Designs and Ideas to: Protect and Repurpose the Historic Transit Terminal and Immigrant Building Design a New Annex to Accommodate 6 New Tracks (and possibly new development above) Continue the Hudson River Walkway and Create New Opportunities for Public Space That Is Resilient and Protects Surrounding Areas Summer Internships and Final Report

53 Understand current and future conditions Test federal, State and local regulations and policies Design new prototypes for housing, mixed use development and public facilities Imagine new ideas for using cutting-edge materials

54 From Sustainable to Resilient: What went right? What went wrong? What almost went wrong?

55 Live With Water

56 Next City Daily Has Floating Architecture s Moment Finally Arrived? By Rachel Keeton Resilient Cities October 1, 2014 In a quiet, shady street in Rijswijk, the Netherlands, Koen Olthuis and the design team at Waterstudio are changing the world. From this deceptively nondescript headquarters, Waterstudio is designing the cities of the future. If Olthuis has his way, they will be safer, more flexible and more resilient than current cities. How will he do this? Olthuis is designing floating cities. As we sit down at the table, the busy office buzzing around us, my first question to Olthuis is direct: How realistic are floating cities? Olthuis grins and nods, he s heard this question before.
