ABSTRACT
Coastal neighborhoods in Te Whanganui-a-Tara/Wellington, Aotearoa/New Zealand, are grappling with the combined impacts of nuisance flooding and sea-level rise. This chapter describes a design that proposes the creation of a floodable zone within an amphibious suburb to increase adaptive capacity. The project accomplishes this by combining tiered structural and non-structural mechanisms to manage flooding along the coastal edge and within the low-lying residential neighborhood.
