New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) and Mayor's Office of Climate Resiliency (MOCR) released the Financial District and Seaport Climate Resilience Master Plan, a blueprint for comprehensive flood defense infrastructure to protect Lower Manhattan from the urgent threat of climate change. The $5-to-$7 billion plan reimagines the shoreline of Lower Manhattan and creates a 21st century resilient waterfront to withstand severe coastal storms and rising sea levels, which together pose a serious threat to the low-lying Financial District and South Street Seaport neighborhoods where close to a million people work, live and commute through.
