Lecture | Can NYC Survive the Sea?


A post–Superstorm Sandy map designates a stunning 147 square miles of New York—nearly half of the entire city and encompassing nearly three million people—as a hurricane evacuation zone. Rising sea level will only complicate the coastal flooding problem. How did America’s largest city arrive at this perilous impasse? What has the city done in the past to address coastal flooding? And what was the response to Sandy? Speaker Ted Steinberg is author of Gotham Unbound: The Ecological History of Greater New York, which examines the history of ‘one of the most drastically transformed natural environments in the world.’” Especially recommended for those who believe intellectuals ought to bear some responsibility for addressing contemporary problems.
