Hurricane Sandy’s flooding of New York City highlighted the vulnerability of coastal cities to extreme weather events, which are

becoming more common. Strengthening and protecting infrastructure and the environment before the fact can be very expensive – and perhaps never needed. The possibility of after-the-fact disaster aid can distort economic perspectives. Why is minimizing economic, environmental, and human costs related to extreme weather such a difficult problem for public infrastructure?

But the storm city´s resilience imply high-costs-strong measures to plan for coastal risks aid in short- and long-term robust infrastructure projects considering   the special design for waterfront communities by the means of making  the city safer and healthier, but still vibrant and prosperous, vital and sus tainable.

Although critical, planning for the future of these projects depends on budget management associated with each strategy for New York City comprehensive waterfront plan, as this framework requires gigantic public and  private investment for ensuring healthy waterways, a strong port, the ecological protection of nat ural habitats, the public’s enjoyment of the shoreline, and the economic benefits of  in our waterfront trying to understand the magnitude and benefits in the future and in case of disasters.
