Facing Up To Rising Sea Levels
Main gallery
6 March - 8 April 2010
Facing Up To Rising Sea Levels forecasts three different attitudes towards flooding policy – retreat, defend, attack – and visualises these scenarios in the future.
The problems and challenges posed by future population growth, urban migration patterns and housing demand will fall predominantly on cities, and the exhibition scrutinises the current practice of coastal flood management in the urban context. This think-piece is designed to provoke longer-term thinking about sea level-rise and its implications, using case study examples from Portsmouth and Hull.
The result of a joint project between RIBA Building Futures and the Institution of Civil Engineers, this touring exhibition has been supplemented by information specific to Bristol and looks at the flood risk strategies proposed by Bristol City Council.
