The Boston Harbor Association, the Boston Redevelopment Authority and city officials will hold an international competition this fall to solicit designs to prepare three waterfront sites for current coastal flood risks and future increases in sea levels.
"We're asking for ideas from all around the world about how Boston could protect these sites in ways that are beautiful and could enhance the city," said Julie Wormser, the harbor association's executive director. "We're looking for good ideas that could do double duty so that as we are solving one problem — coastal flooding — we're also addressing other concerns, like affordable housing, transportation or open space."
Details, including the names of the three waterfront sites, will be released at the competition's official launch Oct. 29, the second anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, which Wormser called "a real wake-up call for cities like Boston."
Yesterday's announcement coincided with the release of a report by the harbor association and Watertown planning and design firm Sasaki Associates on climate-resilient designs from other cities, including London, Hamburg and Seoul.
