As a coastal city, how do we ensure New York City’s waterfronts and coastlines meet the climate challenge and provide benefits to communities and for ecology? Join this moderated, interactive conversation to learn from leading planners in climate resilience how planning and building for resilience, ecology, and access at the water’s edge is possible using both green and grey solutions.
