Resilient Urban Environments: Landscape Architect as Instigator of Change
Susannah Drake of dLand Studio will discuss how the impacts of climate change call for the development of new infrastructure systems that can be more responsive to sea level rise and storm surge. Landscape architecture has tremendous economic power and case studies will show how designers can demonstrate that value. Through visualization of data to improve understanding about the financial incentives of good environmental design, these methods can also help to detangle the bureaucratic web surrounding complex jurisdictional environments. Our knowledge when communicated clearly can make real change happen.

This kind of rhetoric is not helpful:

"detangle the bureaucratic web surrounding complex jurisdictional environments"
