THE NATURE OF URBAN DESIGN
Description
The last time the mayor ordered an evacuation of my neighborhood in Brooklyn was for Hurricane Irene. That
was last year, and I obediently packed up and stayed with family on high ground in Manhattan while the storm passed. Now the evacuation order is for Hurricane Sandy. But this time, I am not leaving. I know it’s somewhat irresponsible to stay, especially because I work for the mayor who ordered the evacuation. Because I’m the chief urban designer for New York City, I want to observe the effects of the storm and particularly the dynamics of the storm surge on streets and structures. I know enough professionally about the dangers that a storm the size of Sandy poses to the city that I should be worried.
