Great Lakes Climate Mobilities

Volume 9, Great Lakes Climate Mobilities focuses on one of the most pressing questions facing Northeast Ohio: How might climate change reshape the human and physical geographies of cities in the Great Lakes region? As wildfires rage in the west, sea levels rise along the coasts, and water grows scarce across vast stretches of the country, the cities of the Great Lakes are in an advantageous and possibly precarious position. An abundance of freshwater and relatively stable climate could draw people to the region - yet the scale and timing of such movements are impossible to predict with any certainty.

Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative, in partnership with the University at Buffalo School of Architecture and Planning, will bring together diverse voices - designers, planners, writers, and artists - to discuss these complex issues.
