"Lewis and his team have a fundamentally different vision for places like Chelsea Heights: "We're looking at developing an amphibious suburb," he said. "We want water to come in. If there are berms [earthen seawalls] that are put in, they should be built with a series of valves." The plans for Chelsea Heights include raised homes and roads interspersed with canals and revitalized wetlands." - excerpt from article in Princeton University News.
