Bay Area Challenge

Resilient by Design – Process

Design teams compete for best

solution to sea-level conundrum

An ambitious design competition that seeks to make the

Bay Area a model for how to prepare for sea-level rise

kicks off this week.

challenge?

transportation, wildlife habitat, recreational areas)?

▪What local partners would need to be involved for it to be

successful; what has their involvement been to date?
