Structures of Coastal Resilience


主讲人:凯瑟琳·西维特Catherine Seavitt

Professor Catherine Seavitt, chair of the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania, will present her research on strategic and collaborative approaches to coastal resilience and planning for climate change at New York City’s Jamaica Bay. In the face of sea level rise and an increased risk of riverine and coastal flooding from extreme rainfall, higher tidal elevations, and storm surge from tropical cyclones, communities must become less dependent on traditional approaches to flood control that have relied on levees, sea walls, and other forms of hard infrastructure. Landscape architects, designers, and planners must develop adaptive and resilient nature-based alternatives for waterfront communities to address increasingly uncertain climate futures. With this new paradigm, the physical infrastructures of defense must give way to the flexible strategies of ecological systems, policy, and planning at the dynamic coastal edge.
