Thanks to the Kresge Foundation
The Urban Resilience Program works to help communities prepare for increased climate risk in ways that allow a quicker, safer return to normalcy after an event but also an ability to thrive going forward. Through careful land use planning, wise investment in infrastructure, and smart building design, we can protect the value weve created in our cities and be more robust when facing adverse events.
In 2014, the Urban Land Institute received a generous grant from the Kresge Foundation. A portion of these funds are being used to conduct Urban Resilience Advisory Services Panels.

Panel Questions
What are recommended strategies for preparing for increased flooding due to sea level rise including those related to protecting the area, accommodating increased coastal flooding, and retreating to some extent from the at risk lands? How can the public sector partner with the private sector to fund these investments?
How might we best integrate various recommended strategies into a holistic approach to resilience considering risks from
flooding as well as earthquakes, the importance of the area to the economy and community, and the best use of at risk land, if strategies such as buffer zones were recommended?
The South Park and Georgetown neighborhoods include vibrant and diverse communities of color and lower income residents, many of whom have limited English proficiency. What are recommended strategies for enhancing the resilience of these communities, including engaging residents in leadership and decision making roles in climate preparedness planning?

Indirect clima?c aspects within the DRV also include the issues of: Extreme heat and large temperature swings Alterna:ve of too liQle rain and snow cap Power grid challenges with reduced snow-cover and increased demand Uncertainty of food ow: Port and transit impact of food shortages on the one hand (growth of Port
imports) , or alterna:vely if the region becomes a global breadbasket (the aQendant increased exports of foodstus)
Rising DRV water table unleashing more soil contaminants Fire storms in dry green :nder zones Dust storms from dry lands and urban debris Rapidly increasing popula:on with climate refugees

Shore Line Improvements
Revetment Use large stone to stabilize and protect the

Riverside Park/Berm Elevated space between the river and the
community that will allow for recreational activity to occur along the shore line while providing protection from storm surge.
Living Shore Line Uses less stone than a revetment and
introduces vegetation for soil stability.
Raised Land Specifically raise the land adjacent to the river
to protect from storm surge.

land use and development Resiliency strategies play a huge role in long term viability and economic value both for public entities as well as
