Because of rising sea levels and more-frequent major storms, New York City already experiences and faces growing flood risks: the number of New Yorkers directly threatened by flooding could double by 2080, and lower-income housing is particularly threatened.

Linda Shi (City and Regional Planning) and Kate Boicourt (EDF) will present on research supported by a 2022 Cornell Atkinson Innovation for Impact Fund Award: Cooperative Strategies for Just and Ecological Adaptation to Flooding in New York City
