A Grassroots Model for Climate Resiliency
Sophie Lasoff (GGFUP, 2014, Location: New York City)
In this project, Sophie Lasoff explores the implementation of a social resiliency strategy by the environmental advocacy organization UPROSE in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. A historically working-class and ethnically diverse community, Sunset Park faces not only the threat of climate change, but of displacement and social diffusion as a result of gentrification.
