New York Resiliency Plan
New York, “The City That Never Sleeps”, is a dream city for
many. Considered as one of the world’s greatest city, it definitely need a plan
to protect it from environmental/natural disasters such as storms, rising sea
levels and climate change.
The Resiliency Plan
puts forward initiatives to strengthen coastal defences, upgrade
buildings and construction standards, protect infrastructure, such as the power
grid and waste water system, and make vulnerable neighbourhoods safer. The plan
includes 257 short, medium, and long-term initiatives.
The main aim of this project is “focused on resilience of
buildings and power infrastructure during future coastal storms – the city will
be able to prevent economic losses of more than US$ 22 billion by the 2050s,
according to current estimates.” (c40.org)
