Kristina Hill is Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture, Environmental Planning and Urban Design at Berkeley, California. In this video she discusses her recent work in the San Francisco Bay Area – a region that, like Christchurch, is challenged by a rising water table in a seismic zone. This is a livestream. You can fast forward to where the presentation starts at 12 mins 25 secs.

Hill's current research focus is urban resilience in the changing global environment, particularly around climate change, sea level rise, and development to enhance a city's ability to recover from disaster events.

This event took place at The Piano, 156 Armagh Street, Christchurch, 20 July 2017 during Christchurch Conversations - a series of free talks open to all, where thought leaders explore ideas about the city’s future.
