BACKGROUND
Natural disasters and their devastating aftermath are increasingly becoming a reality for many communities around the world. In October 2012, millions of people across the Northeast Coast of the United States felt the force of Hurricane Sandy. The storm covered an area more than one thousand miles in diameter and became the second most expensive natural disaster in the country’s history. The storm’s damage exposed the true physical and social costs that communities suffer in the wake of natural disasters around the world.

Rather than simply reconstruct what had existed before the storm, or rely on conventional strategies of disaster management, the scale of the devastation led to an increasing awareness that a new approach to rebuilding had to be considered, one which would increase the resilience of affected communities in preparation for a changing world.

As a response, in the spring of 2013 President Obama’s Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force, led by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), initiated Rebuild by Design - a competition that would promote resilience through innovative planning and design - which was overseen by Henk Ovink. Rebuild by Design led ten international, interdisciplinary teams through months of intensive research and collaboration with neighborhood stakeholders throughout the Sandy-affected region. The teams have worked together in a year-long process, learning how best to help communities redevelop for long term resiliency.
