Resilient by design

The Bay Area is in danger from sea level rise, and the organization "Resilient by Design" wants ideas and plans for how to make sure a storm surge, or even the ongoing effects of incremental climate change and erosion don't lead to disaster, by building resiliency into coastal infrastructure. That was the crux of a presentation by Amanda Brown-Stevens, managing director of Resilient by Design, during a presentation at the San Francisco Bay Area Planning and Urban Research Association (SPUR)'s Oakland location last week.
