Hurricane Sandy and NYC Infrastructure
- Date Range
- October 22, 2012 – November 2, 2012
- Title
- Hurricane Sandy and NYC Infrastructure
- What occurred
- Many hurricanes have hit New York City and the general Northeast in the past, but the most recent one, Hurricane Sandy exposed a need to change the city's infrastructure. The hurricane devastated the Manhattan coastline, which meant that it needed to be rebuilt all together, and it needed to be built stronger to make sure that the coastline isn't hit as hard the next time there's a major flood or hurricane. The city's government hosted a contest called Rebuild by Design to bring the people in the city together and help rebuild what was lost.
