Coastal resilience solutions for South Boston
This report is the City’s second local climate resilience plan that presents district-scale climate adaptation solutions (Climate Ready Boston Initiative 4.1). The first was Coastal Resilience Solutions for East Boston and Charlestown.
To protect the South Boston community, jobs, and infrastructure, coastal resilience solutions across South Boston combine existing green spaces and built water management systems with new open space intended to be expanded over time. These measures include elevated waterfront open spaces and Harborwalk, reinforced structures and piers, flood walls, dunes, and a living shoreline that will grow and change over time. Achieving these measures will require public investments, private action, and support through regulatory change.
