波士顿(Boston)推出海岸防洪互动工具 Coastmix:居民可自己设计堤岸方案

波士顿(Boston)市政府10月21日正式推出互动工具 Coastmix,让居民自己动手设计海岸防洪方案。这款由市府气候韧性办公室与新兴技术办公室联合开发的在线工具,借鉴了风靡城市设计圈的 Streetmix:用户可以在网站上拖拽搭配海堤、湿地、步道等模块,探索不同的海岸防护组合,并把自己的设计上传到社区画廊分享。工具即日起在 coastmix.org 上线,boston.gov/coastmix 提供操作教程。市府还将于11月6日中午举办线上研讨会,演示工具用法并回答居民提问。
波士顿正沿47英里的海岸线推进韧性规划,市府希望用这种「游戏化」的方式,让对工程不熟悉的居民也能直观理解海岸线上到底能建什么来防洪,同时收集社区意见。该工具不仅面向波士顿居民,也欢迎研究者、学生与全球其他沿海城市使用。
Boston Launches Coastmix, an Interactive Coastal Flooding Tool: Residents Can Design Their Own Shoreline Defenses
The City of Boston officially launched Coastmix on Oct. 21, an interactive tool that lets residents design their own coastal flood defenses. Developed by the city's Office of Climate Resilience and the Office of Emerging Technology, the online tool borrows from Streetmix, popular in urban design circles: users drag and drop seawalls, wetlands, paths and other modules to explore shoreline protection combinations, and can share their designs in a community gallery. The tool is live at coastmix.org, with tutorials at boston.gov/coastmix. The city will also host an online workshop at noon on Nov. 6 to demonstrate the tool and answer questions.
Boston is advancing resilience planning along its 47 miles of coastline, and officials hope the game-like format helps residents without engineering backgrounds understand what can actually be built along the shore, while gathering community input. The tool is open not only to Boston residents but also to researchers, students and other coastal cities worldwide.
