However even if the project is given the goahead byknows how it will be funded. One project that is going ahead though is a acre hectare housing development named Bridgeland northwest of Houston Texas. Its developers decided to build a resilient community for residents from scratch. Bridgeland is just one example of climateresilient masterplanned communities popping up around the US in places where extreme weather is becoming evermore common.
Stefani Danes Bridgelands stormwater system designed to accommodate a year storm is a key part of this. Houses are positioned near lakes and open spaces with the capacity to take on flood water Mobile App Development Service Overflow channels also crisscross the site while pedestrian underpasses double up as stormwater conveyance channels preventing erosion and carrying stormwater runoff. The system has already been tested by two historic flood events the Tax Day flood in where a storm dumped in cm of rain in hours and Hurricane Harvey a year later when more than in cm of rain fell.
In both events tens of thousands of homes flooded across the Houston area. A series of lakes with sloping banks that can hold excess rains were built at Bridgeland two feet cm deeper than what county regulations required. Not a single home flooded during either event in stark comparison with nearby neighbourhoods. Its just one example of climateresilient masterplanned communities popping up around the country in places where extreme weather is becoming evermore common says Stefan.
