Interrelationship of Risk!
Top Resilience Challenges!!• Highest flash flood risk in Colorado (still)!• Rapidly changing forest and alpine
ecosystems!• High year round wildfire danger!• Exposure to global economic downtowns and
credit markets!• Traditional major shock trauma and hazmat
incidents!• Prolonged or deep drought!• Growing income and housing inequality!• Low social cohesion and civic participation!

What We Heard!! Fear around the future and concern about City’s intentions!! Desire to stay in the community and invest in their homes !! Value security of home ownership and ability to plan for the future!! Diverse community that want to hear each other’s thoughts and work together!! Many raise families here and feel secure!! Desire for information and facts!
Hopes and Dreams!!• Creates a new, more equitable business model!• Promotes wealth and security through energy
independence !• Produces a replicable model!• Maintains the land use type: ‘mobile home
park’!• Maintains or enhances sense of community !• Has a high “wow” factor - ability to inspire!
New Initiatives and Partnerships!• Resilient Land Use Planning -
Boulder Comprehensive Plan Update!
• Micro/Nano Energy Grid Pilots!• Artistic Expression of Resilience!• NIST Disaster Resilient Communities
Case Study!• EPA Green Infrastructure
Assessment!• MIT Climate CoLab Community
Solutions Challenge!• Regional Cooperation with County
and State!

EARTHQUAKESHigh seismic activity + geological characteristics + subsidence = high seismic vulnerability.
Images: De Urbaneisten, 2016
SUBSIDENCE PRECIPITATION
FLOODSExtreme rain events during the rainy season in a valley with closed basin and low infiltration and drainage capacity.
LANDSLIDESUrban sprawl and illegal settlements in high vulnerable areas for landslides.
WATER STRESS32% of the population suffers water scarcity. 41.4% of the water is loss in leakages.(SACMEX, 2014)
SOCIAL INEQUALITY28.4% population are `considered under the poverty line and there is a high inequality (Gini of 0.52). (CONEVAL,2010, 2014)
MOBILITY30% trips on private cars account for 85% of the public space. (SEMOVI, 2014)

Around 2020, with the construction and operation of the New International Airport, the current airport site will remain vacant.
CASE STUDY:
NEW INTERNATIONAL
AIRPORT
HISTORICCENTER: 7.88 km
CURRENTAIRPORT
SITE
The project and future use of the current International Airport site is one of the biggest opportunities to foster an urban and socio-economic transformation in Mexico City.
Berlin Tempelhof Airport
Quito, Ecuador Airport
How could the design of the project and the use of the current airport site strengthen resilience in Mexico City?
MAIN CHALLENGE:
1_ CREATE: Water resilience and climate-change adaptation interventions to respond to extreme precipitation events.
2_ PROMOTE: Environmental interventions that rebuild the legacy of the Texcoco Lake.
3_ ENHANCE: Innovation through the development of urban infrastructure and mobility that favors vulnerable population.
RESILIENCE VISION:
NEW INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT(TO BE OPEN IN 2018-2020)
CURRENT AIRPORT SITE(TO BE VACANT IN 2020)
746 hectares

NEW INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT(TO BE OPEN IN 2018-2020)
CURRENT AIRPORT SITE(TO BE VACANT IN 2020)
The site is located on a flood-prone area with high seismic risk, on what used to be the Texcoco Lake.

As a critical infrastructure, the project presents an opportunity for rethinking and transforming environmental and social vulnerabilities into assets. Image: Adriana Chavez 2015
