4.2.2.3 Design Principles – Tailored Resiliency

In the Design report provided by BIG, the organisation highlighted several vital principles for the Dryline to achieve flood-resiliency that encompass infrastructural and community scale: i. Flood protection is not merely based on infrastructural defence system but integrates the entire neighbourhood and the site into accounts ii. The flood-resiliency design shall be community-driven iii. The system should be compartmentalized and allow the project to be built incrementally iv. Physical resiliency shall be combined with community resiliency v. The requirement of different sectors (housing/transit/energy/urban development) shall be address under one solution

Flood protection should integrate community benefit (better open space, better accessibility to housing, jobs and education, lower insurance rates and the possibility for growth) to allow government investment to leverage with local and sectoral funding in Resilient Community District.
