Urban areas experiencing the escalating impacts of climate change-induced disasters face challenges exacerbated by rapid urbanization and inadequate infrastructure. Despite more than four decades of warnings from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the actual outcomes of climate change remain more severe than anticipated, affecting millions of people annually. This study focused on resilience as a response to the detrimental effects of climate change, emphasizing its importance in urban design to address climate-related disasters. Specifically, the research centers on Hunter's Point South Park in Long Island City, New York, examining its design resilience in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. This study aimed to develop an updated resilience toolkit for the designated area using assessment tools from organizations such as the Resilience Alliance, the Rockefeller Foundation, A RUP, and UN-Habitat. The toolkit includes a comprehensive questionnaire derived from crucial elements of existing assessment tools, fostering a systems-thinking approach to resilience in urban studies. Stakeholder involvement is crucial, as this study advocates incorporating community input, local authorities, and the natural environment in project development. The objective is to achieve long-term sustainability, efficiency, and resilience by choosing durable materials, low maintenance greenery, and engaging stakeholders. Also, given the high urban population, health is essential for climate-resilient urban development, as mentioned throughout the study. Prioritizing health in urban resilience planning reduces adverse impacts and fosters adaptable communities. While encouraging further field studies and research, this study underscores the necessity of ongoing efforts to enhance climate change resilience and guide sustainable development decisions.
