Stipisic highlight the ways in which resilient design for water infrastructure can be reframed as critical connective tissue and as a living system that provides a variety of benefits such as decreasing urban heat island effects, releasing pressure on aging infrastructure, absorbing water for flood protection, filtering water and reuse, and providing ecological habitat and ecosystem services.
