11/4 - Designing and Codifying Climate Change Adaptation (CM | 1.5)

Sea level rise? Nope. Wildfires? Unlikely. More frequent, more powerful storm events? Unfortunately, yes, that's what climate change looks like in the Midwest! As midwestern planners and landscape architects grapple with how to adapt, this event will get beyond the basics to discuss site-level impacts ...and what we can do about it.

DATE & TIME: November 4, 2021, 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM CST
