Abstract

Waterfront communities are facing unprecedented challenges with global Sea Level Rise (SLR) becoming a reality. The households in these communities are likely to be inundated, and inundation of links in the urban transportation system will bring more interruptions to the communities. Some residents will not be able to access their workplaces or education if the transportation system is interrupted. Among these waterfront communities, many are considered disadvantaged communities that have concentrations of minority and low-income families. Residents in these communities are more vulnerable because they tend to be less able to relocate to other neighborhoods with lower risks of SLR.
