A team from UH Mānoa earned an honorable mention award in the urban design category from American Planning Association Hawaiʻi Chapter.
The UH Community Design Center and its project partners were awarded $350,000 to develop a framework for future Waikīkī resilience and a sea-level rise adaptation plan.
Experts say an understanding of the tourist capacity limits for local communities in the islands would help inform policies.
UH research “Envisioning Sea Level Rise Adaptation in Waikiki, Hawaiʻi,” received an honorable mention at the AIA Honors and Design Awards.
