E-mail to Michael Berkowitz re: Regional Consideration

Fri, 2013-10-11 15:12 — admin

Sent to Michael Berkowitz, Managing Director, 100 Resilient Cities, Rockefeller Foundation on October 9, 2013

Hello Michael and the 100 Resilient Cities ChallengeTeam,

Kudos and thank you for all you are doing!  I have a quick question/proposal and if you have a moment to reply,  I'd like to know your thoughts:

The Q&A sessions led me to believe that the intention is for cities to apply, rather than regions.  I would agree that the CRO's position might appear more manageable if it were based in one municipality.  My only concern is that if we want to maximize the benefit of the 100 Resilient Cities Network, to increase resilience in as many cities as possible that are facing similar challenges, that perhaps a regional approach would be worthwhile, at least in South Florida.

Once you review the applications from South Florida cities such as Pompano Beach and Miami, please consider the possibility of designating these cities as joint winners on a regional front where the cities, and their respective counties, would be able to work together with the guidance of a strong CRO to make this entire region more resilient.

Thank you for your consideration.

Pompano Beach Wins Award For Livable City Plan

Thu, 2013-06-06 12:57 — admin

In 2012, Horacio Danovich , CRA Engineer - Project Manager, won an award for the planning and design of the Pompano Beach Boulevard Streetscape Improvements Project when he attended the 49th “International Making Cities Livable Conference” in Portland, Oregon. The attached pdf demonstrates a successful design for a healthy inclusive community.

As we move our cities towards resilience we have to ask ourselves 'What else can we do to make our cities healthy and sustainable?'  Pompano Beach is doing a great job towards this end.  What else would you like to see Pompano Beach add to the plan?
