As climate risks intensify, thousands of New Yorkers continue to live, work, and raise families in flood prone neighborhoods. This panel brings together residents, housing advocates, planners, and resilience experts to explore what it really means to call the floodplain home. We’ll dive into the tough choices facing communities: build here or retreat? Retrofit or relocate? Who gets to stay, who must move, and who decides? Join us for an honest conversation about safety, affordability, and the future of housing on our city’s most vulnerable edges.
