The Financial District and Seaport Climate Resilience Plan will protect NYC from climate change while enhancing the waterfront to include new accessible public open space, resilient ferry terminals, and new stormwater management systems.
NYC is increasingly vulnerable to flooding due to climate change. More intense coastal storms, rising sea levels, and extreme precipitation are already causing flooding across New York City. Lower Manhattan is at the core of New York City’s transportation system and economy. The area is also a cultural hub, attracting millions of visitors, and is a mixed-use center with a growing residential population. To protect the neighborhood, the City is building flood protection infrastructure making the city more resilient to climate change and ensuring Lower Manhattan is able to better serve generations of New Yorkers and visitors. We call this approach Resilience+.
