• Notes:"UR02: Waterproofing New York gathers some of the most influential and thought provoking municipal leaders, engineers, social scientists, and designers to explore the impact of past and future storms on New York City's infrastructural systems: water/waste. power/data, circulation/fuel, parks/recreation, and shelter. The essays and projects collected here use these urban operating systems to open speculation on the possibilities not simply for waterproofing the city but for thinking beyond it to seek wider means of coordinated yet opportunistic, pragmatic and inventive, city design. Waterproofing New York is intended to support an emerging skepticism of a singular "big fix," as well as the unplanned, uncoordinated, shoring up of individual enterprises and discrete sites that will ensue in the absence of design and civic leadership" -- Cover.
  "This volume of UR was launched with a conference series, Waterproofing New York, planned by the Landscape Architecture Program of the City College of New York's Spitzer School of Architecture in the months immediately following Hurricane Sandy's landfall in October 2012" -- Foreword (page 6).
