The report determines that urban planners must embrace Building Information Modeling (BIM) and other innovative ways to build and fund projects, proactively recognize and quantify the future effects of climate change, and pursue infrastructure projects that abandon the old, safe “build to spec” model in favor of innovate, forward-thinking designs and policies.
