Coastal cities have long thrived as bustling hubs of trade and culture. But with climate change altering our shorelines, we face new challenges. Rising seas, fiercer storms, and erosion demand urgent solutions. At Hunter's Point South in NYC, we’re leading by example. This former industrial zone is now a beacon of sustainable development, harmonizing with nature to guard against floods and rising tides. Hear more from Vincent Lee, Principal, on Hunter's Point South and explore the actions were taking to build resilience into coastal cities: https://lnkd.in/g4B9brDS #WeAreArup #ChangingCoastlines #UrbanResilience #ClimateAction #HuntersPointSouth

They explore how to create a low-carbon and equitable transport future. Harriet shares, "Addressing big challenges like clean transport requires tailored solutions. It's about starting small, understanding people's needs, and viewing challenges through a human lens." Join us to learn about: • The UK PACT's role in decarbonising Indonesia • Human-centered design • Global projects promoting accessibility, equity, and social inclusion • Insights for designing inclusive solutions.

How do we help cities address energy poverty while promoting a sustainable, equitable transition? In partnership with the Global Resilient Cities Network, our team of specialists worked with local communities to address the prevalence of energy poverty in Lagos, Cali, Rio de Janeiro and Cape Town. Through a series of “design sprints”, the program connected stakeholders and helped the four cities to unlock energy-related investment opportunities which have the potential to be translated into long-term socio-economic gains. Learning from people’s lived experiences was key. By amplifying the voices of energy-poor and marginalized groups, we can identify challenges and collaboratively brainstorm solutions.

Arup reposted this
In a new film produced for us by BBC StoryWorks in collaboration with the World Ocean Council, I explained how we transformed a former industrial site in New York City into Hunter’s Point South, creating a space that serves as a blueprint for sustainable development worldwide and will protect and enrich lives for generations to come. The journey to creating this resilient waterfront in New York City started with a multi-agency visioning workshop where we collectively identified drivers of change and brainstormed ideas on how to embed sustainability at Hunters Point South. Nearly a decade later, the vision was realized through technical excellence and the waterfront park has become a model for urban ecology. And along the way, the project was even tested by Superstorm Sandy…and passed… demonstrating how smart design and nature-based solutions can improve resiliency.
