British daily newspaper Financial Times highlights Copenhagen Harbour Bath and River Ring as examples of how resilience measures can enhance the quality of life in urban areas while combatting the impacts of the climate crisis. BIG’s Founder and Creative Director Bjarke Ingels is interviewed alongside Vanesa Castán Broto, professor of climate urbanism at the University of Sheffield; Jo da Silva, global director of Arup; and others. The Copenhagen Harbour Bath has been instrumental in transforming Copenhagen’s harbor from an industrial port into the cultural and social heart of the city. Extending one of the city’s most popular parks over the water, it incorporates the practical needs and demands for accessibility, safety, and programmatic flexibility. Similarly, the River Ring development in Williamsburg seeks to enhance the connectivity between neighborhood and waterfront, restore natural habitats, elevate the standard for urban waterfront resiliency, and transform the way New Yorkers interact with the East River.
