Abstract
In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, with more frequent extreme weather events and rising sea level in progress, addressing the vulnerability of US coastal cities and towns has become a matter of urgency. But out of disasters can come opportunities for innovation. Post-Sandy, a range of new initiatives, tools, policies, governance frameworks and incentives are being tested, including competition processes like Rebuild by Design. Design is seen as a key tool for dealing with complex problems by creating integrated strategies to build resilience, sustainability and livability. Using the Rebuild by Design process as a case study, this article considers the potential of such a process to drive innovation and deliver resiliency projects and strategies that can be implemented and leveraged to have a catalytic impact on a broader scale.
