| Mission: | The Center proposes new paradigms for the evolution of water-based settlements. From retrofitting the metropolis to envisioning future development on the water, we advocate a reconsideration of fluvial and coastal urbanism and a recalibration of our settlement patterns in the context of climate variability; sea level rise and flooding; water, waste, and energy management; global economic shifts; post-industrial legacies; environmental migration and population growth within a rapidly urbanizing world. The Center develops interdisciplinary research and proposes collaborative programs,symposia, and academic courses bringing global involvement in prospective studies on adaptation, environmental justice, and asset preservation of water borne cities around the world. The Center cooperates with academic institutions, governmental agencies, and local stakeholders at national and international levels. |
