E&LP’s Session Description: “Experts representing landscape architecture, civil engineering, and city planning will engage in a moderated panel discussion featuring graphics and videos to illuminate the prescient, innovative planning process for Hoboken’s Northwest Resiliency Park (NWRP). Panelists will provide insight into the city’s strategic land use policy, the park’s collaborative design process, effective community engagement principles, and the synergetic dynamics that create physical and social resiliency. In the current context of a global pandemic and the impacts of climate change, these lessons learned are critical for effective resiliency planning.”[1]
