Engineering Resilience
Description:
Rotterdam, Netherlands and New Orleans, Louisiana For 200 years, life in New Orleans has revolved around keeping the water out of the city. City officials are learning from their counterparts in Rotterdam, Netherlands—where city infrastructure has been designed for centuries to work WITH the water. New Orleans is preparing for sea-level rise by rebuilding natural coastal defenses, including marshes and wetlands. This video is presented as formatted for the Age of Humans Gallery in the David H. Koch Hall of Fossils – Deep Time. Featuring Piet Dircke, Water Management Specialist with Arcadis; Johan Verlinde; Climate Adaptation Officer with the City of Rotterdam; Sharon Weston Broome, Mayor of East Baton Rouge; Pat Forbes, Executive Director, Louisiana Office of Community Development, and other Louisiana and Rotterdam citizens
