Resilient by Regulation
How Texas’s New Rules are Preparing Mixed-Use Campuses for Bigger Storms
As volatile rain and storm events increase, cities and counties across the US are rethinking how to develop projects that are flood-resilient while maximizing economic value. Even in Texas, a state known for development-friendly regulations, new projects face increasing stormwater detention requirements to help the broader community remain resilient.
This panel dove deep into two example projects in the Gulf Coast area of Texas that demonstrate how developers can use these regulations and solutions to their advantage, protecting assets and occupants while adding value. Successful outcomes, transferable strategies, and community impacts were highlighted.
