Green Infrastructure and Flood Resiliency-Land Use Management as an Adaptation Strategy in the Built Environment

Originally aired January 29, 2015

Part of the “Weathering Change: Local Solutions for Strong Communities” series presented by Antioch University New England in partnership with the U.S. EPA, this webinar addresses assessment, planning, and adaptation strategies to better prepare for flood emergencies and sustainably manage flooding and stormwater. Featuring case studies, viewers learn about innovative approaches to inland flooding and the application of low-impact development (LID), site design, and smart growth practices across different scales of implementation.
