dc.description.abstract | Flood risk and the widespread shutoff of residential water utilities are looming threats to the City of Detroit. Supplementary infrastructure as a safeguard against these shutoffs provides an exploratory alternative to water management on the premise that water access is a fundamental human right. The theoretical application of compensatory infrastructure in the North End neighborhood demonstrates the system’s adaptability to differing neighborhood settings. The system is replenished by the water cycle via capture components that are integrated into community landscapes and buildings, whether they are vacant or occupied. Residents’ direct access to the system maximizes opportunities for agricultural use, infrastructure extension, and most importantly, protection of the human right to safe drinking water. | |
