With the news of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's report predicting dire consequences of climate change and seal level rise still fresh, the city of Boston has released a plan for how it will shore up its coastline.
"The city of Boston has unveiled a new vision for protecting the city’s 47 miles of shoreline and has used New York’s SCAPE Landscape Architecture to master plan it," reports Jonathan Hilburg.
"The plan, 'Resilient Boston Harbor,' was presented yesterday by Mayor Martin J. Walsh before the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce. It builds off of the Climate Ready Boston 2070 flood maps, coastal resilience neighborhood studies, and the work done under the Imagine Boston 2030 initiative," adds Hilburg.
Hilburg shares renderings from the plan and details about the plan's approach to resilience.
