Abstract

This lecture will explore how a project concept gets funded and implemented, tracing the development of a proposal to daylight the buried Harlem Creek over a decade. In the talk, she will unpack the evolving planning context for climate resilience in New York City, including the work of Climate Strong Communities, the city’s current initiative to design and fund resilience infrastructure in partnership with communities.
