Responding to Climate Change with Creative Urban Infrastructure
Yolanda Kakabadse, President of WWF International and member of the Global Awards Jury 2015, praised the project's blend of hard flood protection infrastructure and solutions for community needs that foster local commercial, recreational, and cultural activities. The solution includes a mixture of elements, which may include concrete "bench" water barriers that also serve as playgrounds, bike shelters, and planters; along with berms that also function as green areas and attenuate traffic noise or transform bleak zones beneath elevated roadways into public pavilions with a dual function of flood containment.
