This illustration provided by Rebuild by Design in October 2017 shows a flood-mitigation design for the Manhattan borough of New York. The BIG U proposal calls for a 10-mile protective system around the low-lying southern part of the island. The proposal is part of the Rebuild by Design competition to create infrastructure that would protect coastal areas affected by Superstorm Sandy. (Photo by MIT-CAU-ZUS/Rebuild by Design via AP Photo)
