EVENT Sea Level Rise and Local Development
Thursday, February 6th
SPUR Urban Center

via the Urban Land Institute:
Sea level rise threatens more than 281 square miles of Bay Area shoreline. By 2100 more than 270,000 residents, 333 square miles of land and $62B of property will be at risk of inundation. Capital sources and insurers are now evaluating and underwriting this very real risk to their portfolios and considering how to appropriately hedge or price for the future impacts. To address the risk of a rising tide; policy makers, capital markets, and developers are working together to assess potential impacts and develop tools for creating better, more resilient communities. To learn how inundation will affect Bay Area coastal development construction, finance, and policy; join the Urban Land Institute for a panel discussion, featuring stakeholders across multiple disciplines.
