    An urban design studio conducted jointly with the Georgia Conservancy for the Victory Square Neighborhoods in Savannah, Georgia. The neighborhoods were under mandatory evacuation orders when Hurricane Irene in 1999 approached. Luckily, the hurricane passed by without damage, but the neighborhoods realized for the first time that they were vulnerable. The studio address both storm surge and sea level rise and their impacts. The critical issue was the Truman Parkway, a grade separated highway, that had disrupted the historic natural drainage and the historic Casey Canal. Urban Design proposals were for various alternative to retrofit or remove the Truman Parkway to deal with future flood events.
