项目陈述
PROJECT STATEMENT

在休斯顿广袤的多元文化地理中，脆弱社区在自然和人为灾害后不成比例地承受着压力与未满足的需求。休斯顿韧性中心网络总体规划通过一系列社区服务设施，为边缘化地区提供援助，在日常生活、灾害和恢复期间为居民协调资源。项目运用景观建筑学中场地包容性的设施网络规划方法，重点关注提供社区备灾培训、能力建设规划与服务，以及气候适应性建筑与场地。该规划为增强社区应对未来威胁的韧性提供了一个全国性典范。

Across Houston’s vast multicultural geography, vulnerable communities disproportionately encounter stressors and unmet needs following natural and man-made disasters. The Houston Resilience Hub Network Master Plan provides aid to marginalized areas with a series of community-serving facilities that coordinate resources for residents during daily operations, disasters, and recovery periods. Utilizing a landscape architecture lens of a site-inclusive approach to facility network planning, the project focuses on providing access to community preparedness training, capacity-building programming and services, and climate-ready buildings and sites. The plan acts as a national model for increasing community resilience in the face of future threats.

PROJECT NARRATIVE

休斯顿韧性中心网络总体规划旨在创建社区服务设施，在日常生活、灾害和恢复期间为居民协调资源与服务。项目由景观建筑师为休斯顿市长韧性&可持续性办公室主导，项目团队汇集了场所营造设计、GIS分析、应急规划、环境韧性、融资策略和公众参与方面的专业知识。该规划为其他城市提供了一个有益的先例，以应对当前和未来威胁，采用这一增强社区韧性的新模式。

在脆弱性因素分析中，休斯顿在全国范围内位列CDC社会脆弱性指数（SVI）最高百分位类别，其大多数社区得分位于上半区。当叠加城市热岛效应、CDC环境正义指数（EJI）和洪水等其他因素时，显而易见的是，脆弱社区在飓风、流行病、恶劣天气、热浪或其他不可预见威胁等灾害期间面临更大挑战。就城市空间组织而言，休斯顿平坦的地形和暴露于墨西哥湾飓风的风险，因其河口、高速公路和工业发展对连通步行基础设施和保护性树冠的阻碍而加剧。在比较出行网络、疏散路线、土地利用和空置土地等发展因素时，全市社区韧性之间存在明显分界。

该规划借鉴了国外城市、全国范围内以及州内正在制定的规划的经验教训。规划开发团队与市长办公室、休斯顿市多个部门、应急管理办公室、USDN、相邻的韧性与灾害缓解规划团队、社区领袖和非营利利益相关者，以及一个社区试点合作伙伴进行了接触，以创建一种新的基层模式来提供关键服务的获取途径。

由于休斯顿广阔的地理范围和多样化的压力因素，该规划对韧性中心的发展采取混合方法——主要通过市政拥有的设施运营，同时与社区主导的设施合作，以最大化集体努力和网络范围的影响。休斯顿韧性中心网络依赖四个组成部分：韧性中心（市政拥有设施）、超级站点（社区拥有和运营的设施，功能与韧性中心类似），以及站点（社区拥有的设施，主要在稳态期间发挥作用）。

景观建筑师利用参数化建模脚本和GIS软件来识别需求地理区域和服务荒漠——将因高速公路、河口和基础设施而孤立的社区“岛屿”识别为最脆弱的区域。一张综合地图被开发为交互式数据工具，供规划者和社区在市和社区尺度上就中心和基础设施发展做出决策。在利益相关者意见的基础上，规划者优先列出了一系列现有休斯顿市设施用于韧性中心改造，并创建了一系列设施评估清单、中心“项目菜单”、数量级成本数据库和资金操作手册，以帮助实施改进。

PROJECT NARRATIVE

The Houston Resilience Hub Network Master Plan aims to create community-serving facilities that coordinate resources and services for residents during everyday operations, disasters, and recovery periods. Led by landscape architects for the City of Houston’s Mayor’s Office of Resilience and Sustainability, the project team drew upon expertise in place-based design, GIS analysis, emergency planning, environmental resilience, financing strategies, and public engagement. The plan provides a useful precedent for other cities engaging with this new model for increasing community resilience in the face of current and future threats.

In the analysis of vulnerability factors, Houston is nationally ranked within the highest percentile category of the CDC’s Social Vulnerability Index(SVI), with the majority of its communities scoring within the upper half. When overlaying additional factors such as the heat island effect, theCDC’s Environmental Justice Index (EJI), and flooding, it is evident that vulnerable communities face greater challenges during disasters such as hurricanes, pandemics, inclement weather, heat waves, or other unforeseeable threats. When it comes to the spatial urban organization, Houston’s flat terrain and exposure to Gulf Coast hurricanes are compounded by its bayou, freeway, and industrial development barriers to connected pedestrian infrastructure and protective tree canopy cover. When comparing development factors such as mobility networks, evacuation routes, land use, and vacant land, clear divisions in community resilience across the City are evident.

The plan draws upon lessons learned from cities abroad, around the nation, and developing plans across the state. The plan development team engaged the Mayor’s Office, multiple City of Houston departments, the Office of Emergency Management, the USDN, adjacent resilience and hazard mitigation planning teams, neighborhood leaders, and non-profit stakeholders, as well as a community pilot partner to create a new grass-roots model for providing access to critical services.

Due to Houston’s vast geographic expanse and wide variety of stressors, this plan takes a hybrid approach to Resilience Hub development—primarily operating through municipal-owned facilities while partnering with community-led facilities to maximize collective efforts and network-wide impacts. The Houston Resilience Hub Network relies on four components: Resilience Hubs (city-owned facilities), Super Spots (community-owned and operated facilities that perform similarly to Resilience Hubs), and Spots (community-owned facilities that are primarily functional during steady-state periods).

The landscape architects utilized parametric modeling scripts and GIS software to identify geographies of need and service deserts — identifying community “islands” isolated by freeways, bayous, and infrastructure as the most vulnerable areas. A synthesized map was developed as an interactive data tool for planners and communities to make decisions regarding hub and infrastructure development at both city and community scales. With stakeholder input, the planners prioritized a list of existing City of Houston facilities for Resilience Hub retrofits and created a series of checklists for facility evaluation, a Hub “Programming Menu”, an order-of-magnitude cost database, and a Funding Playbook to help implement improvements.
