This session will share innovative ideas for creative transformation of industrial areas into healthy, productive, resiliency assets; explore the social equity benefits of green industrial zones; and introduce new tools that leverage resilient infrastructure investment to strengthen adjacent under-invested residential neighborhoods without displacement. The Mithun Home Team’s Resilient by Design Bay Area Challenge project, ouR-HOME, will be a featured case study. Sandy’s co-presenters will be Sherwood Design Engineers founder and CEO Bry Sarte and Climate Change, Hatch principal Alexis Robert.
