Synopsis
How will society confront climate change? Faced with rising sea levels and more powerful storms, we all know that what worked in the past will not work in the future. The climate challenge is too urgent to ignore and too big to confront with our existing methods.
Too Big tells the inside story of the American federal response in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. The late 2012 storm that ravaged the New York–New Jersey region revealed the true physical and social vulnerabilities that all coastal cities face from sea level rise and extreme weather events. It underscored the need for fundamentally different approaches to create more resilient cities and coastlines. President Obama took on this challenge through an innovative, inclusive design process called Rebuild by Design: confronting established federal, state and local practices, championed by Henk Ovink, the Dutch Special Envoy for International Water Affairs who joined the American recovery effort.
In this book, Ovink and Boeijenga, together with Rebuild by Design’s key partners, give a firsthand account of this process: building coalitions and creating innovative solutions by running an intense international design effort in the aftermath of a devastating storm. Analyzing the competition’s groundbreaking formula for bringing all stakeholders to the heart of resilience planning, Too Big presents governments and communities an approach to become more responsive, more effective and more prepared in the face of climate change.
Too Big addresses the urgency of a battle we cannot afford to lose, but also shows a way forward, informing and inspiring everyone who has the ambition to change the world.

Paperback. Condition: New. Orderbook- ABEBOOKSMAY2025--WWB JUNE 2018 -- TOO BIG: REBUILD BY DESIGN -- A TRANSFORMATIVE APPROACH TO CLIMATECHANGE. Henk Ovink and Jelte Boeijenga. Nai010 Uitgevers/Publishers, Rotterdam, 2018. Distributed inthe U. S. A. By Artbook|D. A. P. , New York. 272 pp. With 81 ills. (47 col. ). 24 x 17 cm. ISBN9789462083158 In English. Publisher' s description: Rebuild by Design was developed for the Presidential Hurricane Sandy RebuildingTask Force, a response to the destruction that followed Hurricane Sandy hitting the Northeast coast of theUnited States in October and November of 2012. Using an innovative, design-driven process based on thedesign competition model, Rebuild by Design places local communities and civic leaders at the heart of arobust, interdisciplinary creative process to generate implementable solutions for building more resilientregions. Its signal initiative was the Hurricane Sandy Design Competition, which produced ten visionarydesign proposals addressing the intersection of physical, social and ecological resiliency. Seven of thosedesigns are currently in the process of being implemented in the Northeast United States. Rebuild byDesign aims not so much to document what Rebuild by Design did in Sandy' s devastating aftermath, butrather to reflect on it, assess its unique structure and processes, and embed its work in a broader context. This volume thus offers an inspiring guide for politicians, designers, change-managers, community leaders, researchers, activists and others, suggesting future ways of approaching the climate change-induced, water-related challenges that will continue to face our cities and landscapes in the years to come.
