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

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.

As our work continues on California High-Speed Rail Authority’s initial 171-mile segment in the Central Valley, we are thrilled to share the latest renderings for the stations in Merced, Fresno, Kings Tulare, and Bakersfield. Working collaboratively in a Joint Venture with Foster + Partners, the project team recently engaged in a series of public ‘open house’ sessions with local communities, businesses, agencies, and other key stakeholders, which will inform the development of the station designs. The JV is overseeing the architecture and engineering for these new Central Valley stations, which will serve as models of design for others planned along the entire 500-mile Los Angeles/Anaheim to San Francisco system.

Guiding Peru out of of the risk zone. 80,000 residents in the city of Trujillo will now be protected from flood risks, through this life-changing project. We’ve partnered with Mace, Gleeds and the Peru National Infrastructure Authority Autoridad Nacional de Infraestructura (ANIN), to design and create a 1.2km basin, a 20km canal and stepped discharge structure, to hold, clean, slow and direct the safe flow of rainwater from the mountains, to the sea. Watch the latest ‘Faces of Change’ mini-documentary, which details this next phase in supporting the acceleration of flood defences, schools and health facilities in Peru. This tells the story of the community partnership, cultural heritage and lasting legacy of the El León Gully project, the first of 17 river defence systems to be delivered through our collaboration.
