AND SUSTAINABILITY DESIGN
The Urban Land Institute (ULI), a global organization of more than 40,000 real estate and urban development professionals, summarizes its resilience work since Hurricane Sandy in its 2108 Ten Principles for Building Resilience publication.
Highlights include:
- Accurately Price the Cost of Inaction:
Recent extreme weather events suggest that the costs of not investing in
resilience and risk reduction are dramatically increasing.
- Design with Natural Systems: Designing
resilience relies upon an understanding of the function and geography of
natural systems and how they can help strengthen manmade systems and
communities.
- Redefine How and Where to Build: Building
resilience entails identifying and investing in places and infrastructure
that are the most likely to endure.
