Rebuild by Design (RBD) was developed for the 'Presidential Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force' after hurricane Sandy hit the North-East Coast of the United States in 2012. Using an innovative, design-driven process based on the design competition model. 'RBD' places local communities and civic leaders at the heart of a robust, interdisciplinary creative process to generate implementable solutions for a more resilient region.

This book aims to reflect 'RBD', assess all its aspects, and embed it in a broader context to offer a guide for politicians, designers, researchers, activists, and others.
