Flood Preparedness

Flooding is the most expensive and common natural disaster in the United States, and its impacts are only expected to accelerate due to increasingly frequent and intense storms and sea-level rise. The Urban Resilience program’s work on flood preparedness includes original research, convenings, and technical assistance projects addressing flood risk and resilience at site, community, city, and regional scales.

Cloudburst Infrastructure

New York, NY: Cloudburst Infrastructure Workshop for New York City Housing Authority presents the solutions unearthed during a workshop with ULI’s Urban Resilience program and ULI New York in collaboration with the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) that developers, owners, and cities can use to boost a landscape’s ability to handle extreme rain and cloudbursts, by slowing down the flow of water, storing water in floodable areas, or restoring natural ecosystems.

Harvesting the Value of Water

Harvesting the Value of Water explores the real estate sector’s increased participation in stormwater management through the incorporation of green infrastructure. The report details how cities in the United States are dramatically revising their stormwater management regulations and requiring participation from the private sector.

Floodplain Buyouts

On Safer Ground: Floodplain Buyouts and Community Resilience highlights how local governments across the United States are increasingly turning to buyouts as one strategy to cost effectively reduce flood risk, offer relief to residents, and potentially improve access to open space in urban areas.

The Business Case for Resilience in Southeast Florida

Commissioned by the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact,  The Business Case for Resilience in Southeast Florida summarizes the findings of an economic analysis that assessed the regional impact of resilience investment. The results present a compelling business case for both the public and private sectors to invest in proactive flood protection and climate adaptation strategies now, including both community-ide and building-scale measures. 

Digital Coast Partnership

ULI is proud to be a part of NOAA’s Digital Coast Partnership to support member and industry access to critically important coastal data, tools, and expertise. The Digital Coast provides online tools that can be used to inform real estate development and land use policy making, project design, and resilience planning efforts in U.S. coastal markets. 

Coastal Forum

The Coastal Forum provides an opportunity for ULI members to convene and share best practices and emerging market trends in coastal real estate development and community resilience, with regular gatherings at ULI Fall and Spring Meetings. 

Living on the Edge Webinar Series

ULI South Carolina and the Urban Resilience program hosted Living on the Edge, a five–part web-based series designed to help ULI South Carolina members develop a deep understanding of current best practices for assessing and mitigating climate risk in real estate and land use along the South Carolina coast. 

Realizing Resilience: Social Equity and Economic Opportunity, St. Petersburg, Florida

Led by ULI Tampa Bay in partnership with the Urban Resilience program, this technical assistance report summarizes the Realizing Resilience workshop. The workshop offered the city of St. Petersburg strategies to enhance flood preparedness and community resilience, and explored means to withstand future shocks and thrive in the face of environmental, social, and economic pressures. 

Downtown Lafayette, Louisiana: Strategies for Resilient Land Use, Development, and Implementation

Following a major rain event in Lafayette that caused extensive damage and flooding, the city invited ULI to conduct a Resilience Advisory Services Panel to advise on strategies to enhance resilience and encourage catalytic mixed-use and residential development in the city’s urban core. Specifically, the panel identified financial tools and policies to implement more resilient land use and water management strategies. 

Miami Beach Stormwater Management and Climate Adaptation Review

The City of Miami Beach invited ULI to provide an independent assessment of its climate adaptation efforts, including a multi-year stormwater management plan, infrastructure investments and land use policy changes. The Miami Beach Resilience Advisory Services Panel proposed strategies to build on the work in place through green and blue infrastructure, modelling, physical design, regulation, finance, creative placemaking, and communications.
