One Architecture & Urbanism (ONE) and Rebuild by Design (RbD) are pleased to present the next steps towards Rainproofing New York City! Our new publication distills the insights and findings from the three Rainproof NYC Working Groups, in which city agency staff, experts, and community leaders collaborated from January through June of this year. “Rainproofing New York City: Recommendations from the Working Groups” builds on the original report from 2021 by exploring three topic areas and identifying actionable strategies to adapt the city to increasing rainfall, with benefits even during drought conditions. From stormwater management to housing mobility to building capacity and outreach, the report covers a wide range of recommendations to make the city more resilient for all New Yorkers. “This report represents the tough but rewarding foundation of how we can come together. Together we are working to put the foundation we created into long-lasting implementation.” Download the “Rainproofing New York City: Recommendations from the Working Groups” report here: https://lnkd.in/evcZF6S7 On the occasion of the publication of the Working Group recommendations, RbD is also thrilled to announce a new micro-grant opportunity! Three community organizations will each receive $10,000 to implement ongoing or new initiatives that address the recommendations and guiding principles from the Rainproof NYC Working Group process. Applications are due on Dec. 4, 2024—learn more at https://lnkd.in/ecv7gJWc ____ Rebuild by Design, NYC Department of Environmental Protection (NYC DEP), Matthijs Bouw, Lot Locher, Rifal Imam

New York City Mayor Eric Adams and the NYC Department of Design and Construction held a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the completion of Phase One of ESCR, from East 15th Street to the Asser Levy Playground. ESCR - envisioned by BIG and designed together with the AKRF-KSE Joint Venture, MNLA , One Architecture & Urbanism (ONE), Arcadis , Jacobs, and others - will reduce flood risk for more than 110,000 New Yorkers, critical infrastructure, and hundreds of acres of Lower Manhattan. The project will implement raised parkland, floodwalls and gates, and improved recreational facilities and waterfront accessibility into the design of 70+ acres of new public space. ESCR’s entire 2.5-mile project area is located within the FEMA 100-year floodplain and spans from Montgomery Street to East 25th Street along the East River in Manhattan. Phase One was completed two months ahead of schedule and $10 million under budget. Read more about ESCR here: https://loom.ly/nCPXGjo ??
