The challenges also included collaboration with Chief Resilience Officers of Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco. The challenge brought together selected teams to research local conditions and work with communities, local governments, and both nonprofit and private sectors to design community solutions for climate change adaptation to extremes such as flooding and drought (City and County of San Francisco, 2016a). The challenges started with two key questions: “1) Could we come up with innovative solutions to sea level rise and resilience related issues” and “2) Could we be proactive in this approach to protect our communities before a disaster strikes?” (Resilient by Design, 2018a). Nine project sites in the Bay Area have been underway with support from design teams of local as well as international experts working with these communities to address climate change threats. The project sites and their design team names (indicated in parentheses) are as follows (Resilient by Design, 2018b):The Grand Bayway, in San Pablo Bay (Common Ground)
