Flood Solutions Fair Highlight

On Saturday, January 25th, Wendy spoke at the Flood Solutions Fair in Brooklyn on the power of green infrastructure in building flood resilience. Addressing solutions from city-wide parks to community-driven rain gardens, the discussion highlighted how design, planning, and education form a “green infrastructure dream team” to protect our cities.

Hosted by The City Sponge at Van Alen Institute, the event brought together a diverse group of contributors, including experts from Pratt Institute, Gowanus Canal Conservancy, Rebuild by Design, Center for NYC Neighborhoods, NYC DEP, Insure Before, and Waterfront Alliance, as well as local elected officials and community leaders. Their insights and solutions emphasized how integrating nature-based strategies at every scale can reduce flood risks and create healthier, more adaptable urban spaces.
