Challenges, Action & Result
Large metropolitan areas are vulnerable as a result of increasing the frequency and severity of storms hitting big cities like New York City. Bjarke Ingels Group is one of the winners of multi-disciplinary design teams that are going to transform the BIG U in New York City.
Ten miles of floor barriers are currently being constructed around Lower Manhattan’s seawall with integrated multi-functional spaces.
This will enable flood prevention, and provide open spaces and parkland in Manhattan.
