Why urban resilience requires solving economic inequality first
In short: Detroit serves as a critical laboratory for understanding how cities can survive climate shocks. Anika Goss explores why environmental sustainability cannot be separated from the economic history of our industrial past.
The video examines the intersection of climate vulnerability and economic inequity, arguing that these two challenges are inextricably linked. By looking at Detroit's revitalization, Goss illustrates how a city's industrial heritage informs its path toward a sustainable future.
The core objective is to move beyond mere adaptation to create a model for resilience that works everywhere. It suggests that addressing systemic economic disparities is a necessary prerequisite for building cities capable of withstanding modern climate shocks.
