Geografický termín: HUDSON River (N.Y. & N.J.), HIGH Line (New York, N.Y. : Viaduct), BRYANT Park (New York, N.Y.), MANHATTAN (New York, N.Y.), NEW York (State)
Abstrakt: The concepts of resilience and adaptation are becoming increasingly relevant in urban planning, particularly in cities where climate change poses significant threats. These concepts should be linked to health and liveability to both turn risks into opportunities and safeguard the environment while improving the quality of life for citizens. This study explores the strategies implemented in a city like New York, which has embraced this 'holistic' approach over the past decade to enhance resilience while improving liveability, particularly through public space development. New York's public spaces, including waterfronts, elevated parks and multifunctional urban parks, are key elements in addressing environmental challenges such as sea-level rise, storm surges and the urban heat island effect. The revitalisation of Hudson River Park demonstrates how urban green spaces can integrate natural flood defences and support biodiversity while remaining functional and accessible. The High Line, an elevated park, showcases the potential for reusing industrial infrastructure to create adaptive, vibrant public spaces, though it faces challenges such as overcrowding and heat exposure. Bryant Park, located in Midtown Manhattan, provides insights into managing smaller urban parks that accommodate diverse uses and heavy foot traffic while mitigating the effects of heat and overcrowding. This paper presents three case studies, which were analysed using an original methodology specifically ideated to identifying the effects of concurrent risks, people's perceptions and possible projects or policies to improve urban adaptation and liveability.
