Arts centres, canal gardens and water-collecting parks feature in this conversation on architecture and landscape design for delta and flood-prone cities.

Flooding, rising sea levels and subsiding land are some of the most pressing consequences of climate change affecting cities in our region. Solutions for these complex issues require collaborative, cross-disciplinary and cultural strategies that help cities adapt to these changes. This presentation and discussion, featuring leading Thai landscape architect Kotchakorn Voraakhom, explores major urban projects responding to flooding in New Orleans, Bangkok and Sydney.
