In episode 82 of America Adapts, host Doug Parsons interviews Signe Nielsen, a landscape architect based in New York City.\xa0 Signe has been working on projects in NYC for decades and we discuss how climate change adaptation is being addressed in the city.\xa0 We discuss the impact of Superstorm Sandy and the challenges of keeping people safe and ensuring the people of New York are not cut off from the coasts by rising seas and rising sea walls.\xa0 We also talk about managed retreat, rethinking ecological systems, the new ethics of climate change for landscape architects and much, much more!
