• Abstract:
  This project aimed to examine the need for, and approaches to, managed retreat in the transportation sector. Specifically, our objectives included undertaking a comprehensive national review of managed retreat from a community and transportation infrastructure perspective; developing case studies and analysis, examining the processes once the decision to retreat from higher risk areas has been made; and developing a framework for managed retreat decision making in the face of uncertainty. The project successfully accomplished these goals, with the approach, methods, and results detailed and published in two academic journals, and a third paper which presents the framework and is currently under review.
