Lower Manhattan Coastal Resiliency (LMCR) refers to a range of climate change adaptation strategies of coastal management to address impacts on the city in the wake of the extensive Hurricane Sandy flooding of 2012.[1]
A more localized alternative to the New York Harbor Storm-Surge Barrier, it has some continuity with the centuries-long Lower Manhattan expansion trend and seeks to compensate for the historical loss of wetland buffer zones, and could be integrated into the Manhattan Waterfront Greenway.
History
After Sandy, Governor Cuomo and Mayor Bloomberg differed on their preferred infrastructure responses, with Cuomo favoring a storm barrier to protect the entire estuary, and Bloomberg localized protection for Lower Manhattan inspired by Battery Park City. Several studies have been commissioned since, including the "BIG U",[2] a contrast with the more ambitious seawall proposals.[3]
Bloomberg's 2013 concept of "Seaport City" has evolved into a "FiDi-Seaport" plan,[4] as part of the wider LMCR initiative.[5][6] Initial plans focus on landfilling and building up a park.[7][8]
