Resilience Hubs are equitable, community-serving facilities that support and empower residents during natural disasters as a result of climate change; serve as facilities for public health crises; organize the distribution of food and services to communities in need; and also double as supportive, educational cores that inform, build and strengthen communities. While most hubs consist of buildings within urban neighborhoods, they are less often expanded into the public realm to also utilize urban public space as their staging focus. Designed as a union of urban-scape and building, Resilience Hubs could equitably enhance community resilience, while also improving local resident’s quality of life. The CPPLA Capstone 4th-year Studio partnered with LA City Planning, Mayor Garcetti's Offive of Resilience, Climate Resolve, Boyle Heights Arts Conservatory, SALT, Design Workshop and Terremoto on this effort.
