Author, architect, and Florida Atlantic University professor, Jeffrey Huber will speak about his 2024 book Salty Urbanism. Learn how South Florida cities with short- and long-term infrastructure challenges can respond and adapt to "flooding, storm surge and sea level rise." Professor Huber offers a design framework for coastal cities. He turns data into "actionable design" strategies that address vulnerabilities through resilient infrastructure and adaptive South Florida native landscapes. According to Huber, future community planning offers opportunities "not just to survive, but thrive."
Vice-Chair of the Palm Beach County Board of Commissioners Marci Woodward will introduce Professor Huber. Woodward, the 4th District County Commissioner since 2022, has been a strong ally of Sierra Club Loxahatchee Group's goals to protect Palm Beach County's Agricultural Reserve.
