Cities everywhere are debating the merits of green vs. gray climate infrastructure — but communities are the ones who live with the consequences. This panel looks at the real-world impacts of bioswales, berms, seawalls, stormwater tunnels, wetlands, and hybrid systems. What feels safe? What feels imposed? What works… and for whom? Hear directly from neighborhoods that have experienced both the benefits and the burdens of different resilience approaches, and learn how to design solutions that reflect community priorities.
