Cities around the world are grappling with unprecedented, climate change-related hazards like rainfall, flooding and heat whose frequency and severity continue to increase.

This conversational walk introduces the participants to nature-based climate change solutions, specifically the daylighting of urban streams and rivers.

Join us at CityTalk Live this Thursday, Aug. 8 at 12 p.m. ET! Heat, floods and fires: Can Canadian cities cope with the extremes? Evergreen CEO Jen Angel joins the Canadian Urban Institute (CUI) series, where city and community experience will meet science in a candid conversation about how Canadian cities have been impacted by extreme weather and what we are doing (and can plan to do) to adapt for the future. Today’s cities face huge challenges in both preparing for and recovering from the growing impact of extreme weather events. In Canada, over 80 percent of Canadians live in cities and towns, making climate change an important urban challenge. This concentration of people, infrastructure, and resources in urban areas make cities uniquely vulnerable to the growing risks of a changing climate. Beyond risks, it also challenges us to adapt and innovate future planning, as the climate determines almost everything about how we design, build and live in our cities.
