MIT architecture professor Miho Mazereeuw’s work on disaster resilience focuses on plans, people, and policies, well as technology and design, to prepare for the future.

The 2022 MIT Leventhal City Prize is awarded to Drawing Together, a collaboration between MIT and New York City nonprofit Green City Force. The project will train young people for careers with a sustainability focus while they serve local public housing communities.

In the Boston region, disaster housing is a reality we have to continue to prepare and plan for together. We face the potential for major events or natural disasters that could result in catastrophic damage to housing infrastructure in the region. This makes disaster housing one of the focal points in preparing for and responding to threats. Climate change increases the City and region’s exposure to vulnerabilities that we face from various events and disasters. Boston’s dense urban area mak...
