Climate- Adaptative Waterfront Hudson, 2022
Henry Hudson Riverfront Park is an existing 7 acre park situated along the Hudson River in the City of Hudson, NY. Funded by New York State DEC this design – based on extensive stakeholder engagement – proposes strategies to adapt the park to rising sea level and frequent flooding, regenerate the shoreline’s intertidal ecology, and maintain waterfront recreational access. With a projected 54” rise in sea level to occur by the year 2080, the design team proposed a plan that is responsive to advancing water. Expanding the park to higher ground by transforming underutilized gravel lots into green recreational spaces before the water rises above the existing shoreline. Additionally, planning for successful wetland migration into the park and trading out paved shoreline walkways for raised boardwalks are key strategies.
