PWC Resiliency Panel - Oct. 12

Architects & Engineers – Resiliency Panel

Date: October 12 | 8:00 am - 11:00 am
Venue: Yale Club, 50 Vanderbilt Avenue, New York, NY

Join PWC for breakfast, coffee, networking, and a panel discussion on resiliency!

The challenge of climate change and its impacts are transforming how public agencies at the local, state and regional level plan for future growth and define priorities for critical infrastructure, new projects and retrofits to existing buildings. We have gathered a panel of accomplished professionals from public agencies and from the private sector to discuss key resiliency issues, their impact on planning and design, and to provide an update on their current and future plans for building projects and critical infrastructure.

The Regional Plan Association (RPA) will provide an overview of their Fourth Regional Plan including their vision for the improved environmental sustainability of the New York metropolitan region, to be followed by a moderated panel on the challenges and opportunities that face the region.
