Launched in May 2017, the Resilient by Design | Bay Area Challenge was a year-long collaborative design challenge bringing together local residents, public officials and local, national and international experts to develop innovative solutions that will strengthen our region's resilience to sea level rise, severe storms, flooding, and earthquakes. The Resilient by Design | Bay Area Challenge has not only created tangible solutions for threatened communities across the region it is now a blueprint for how communities can collaborate in the future to tackle the challenges related to climate change we are facing in the future. Each team's proposal illuminates both immediate and longer-term ways to safeguard the Bay Area and make it more environmentally, socially, and economically resilient.
