Marshall Blecher discusses the future of floating urbanism on Monocle Magazine’s ‘the urbanist’ podcast

Can floating cities be the solution to rising sea levels? Can architecture prepare in advance for coastal changes? what are some ways that our cities are, or should be, interacting with water. Marshall discusses these issues together with host Andrew tuck. Other guests include Architect Weston Wright discusses his book on the paradigm shift required for cities to prepare for sea-level rise: “More Water, Less Land, New Architecture” and Glyn Lewis of Renewal Development describes how the firm has used the waterways around Vancouver to relocate rather than demolish houses that are cleared for development, as well as how to deliver them to communities in need.
