On April 8, the AIA New York Chapter in collaboration with the Consulate General of Denmark in New York, the Confederation of Danish Industry and State of Green will put a spotlight on the water-related challenges faced by New York and Copenhagen, and the wide array of approaches and solutions these cities have already deployed or are working to implement.

The program will explore how the integration of urban planning, infrastructure and new technologies is redefining not only how cities cope with climate change, but also how they improve conditions of human life. What solutions and technologies are emerging? What is required to increase the resiliency of existing water infrastructure? What prospect does integrated water resource management hold?

How can New York and Copenhagen increase their resiliency, while remaining vibrant, sustainable and livable cities for people?

This program is related to the exhibition Copenhagen Solutions, on view through April 16, 2014.
