Rising Tides...

The American Society of Landscape Architects posted a blog entry today about a totally cool competition designed to stimulate discussion on how to address the challenges that rising sea levels present for infrastructure, the environment, and quality of life in San Francisco and elsewhere.  The competition forces competitors to consider, for example, how to manage wetlands appropriately, how to anticipate changes to the shoreline (check out my earlier post re: an online tool for visualizing SLR under various scenarios), and how to retrofit structures and/or areas designed to be dry to withstand inundation.   Check out the competition homepage here for more details.
