Extreme weather events, from blizzards to hurricanes, are presenting massive challenges to the U.S. transportation system on an increasingly frequent basis. Please join the NYU Rudin Center for Transportation for a panel discussion on this topic. You'll learn what cities are doing to build resilient infrastructure, ensure residents' health and safety, and quickly recover the flow of people and goods.

This panel is offered as part of 2040 Now, a university-wide initiative exploring what it'll be like to live in 2040, the year that NYU will reach climate neutrality. More of the day's events are visible at the Climate Change Research Symposium website.

An esteemed set of panelists will discuss their work in this area:

  • Carlos Cruz-Casas, Chief Innovation Officer, Department of Transportation & Public Works, City of Miami
  • Melinda Hanson, Founder, Brightside
  • Kaan Ozbay, Director, C2SMART, Tandon School of Engineering, NYU
  • Ryan Russo, Principal, Together Projects
  • Sarah M. Kaufman (moderator), Interim Executive Director, Rudin Center for Transportation, NYU

A networking reception will follow the panel discussion.

6-7 pm (panel), 7-8pm (reception)
