Technology-driven City Water Resilience

Center for Urban Science + Progress
Lecture / Panel
 
Open to the Public

Cities around the world are facing the increasing impacts of climate-driven extreme rainfall and flooding. This panel explores how cutting-edge technologies are being used to improve urban water resilience, making cities safer, greener, and more climate-ready.

Join us in Brooklyn at the Center for Urban Science + Progress at NYU Tandon for a discussion in three parts: First, we’ll explore real-time flood sensing and the potential of urban-scale networks like FloodNet in New York. Next, Arup and the University of California will share new insights through Sponge Cities 2.0, showing how remote sensing and modelling can reveal the impact of nature-based solutions at scale. Finally, The Nature Conservancy will showcase how artificial intelligence and machine learning are being used to adaptively manage stormwater infrastructure in real time.

This session brings together researchers, practitioners, and advocates working at the intersection of data, design, and climate adaptation.
