- Abstract
- With increasing effects of climate change, cities and towns are becoming more interested in developing resilient infrastructure. Bicycle infrastructure, one popular form of resilient infrastructure is becoming more present in towns and cities. Town qualities, such as close-knit communities, smaller sized blocks, and density make them especially suitable for bicycle infrastructure. My focus on Beaufort, North Carolina, highlights different challenges and opportunities small coastal towns can provide. The progress and potential of bicycle infrastructure in Beaufort highlight how it can guide a community into becoming more prepared for climate change. This research will expand the relatively new area of bicycle infrastructure in small communities and bolster research on resilient solutions for coastal communities facing climate change.
