• Resumen

  • Sampson talks about the prospect of more extreme weather, which has focused attention on the urgent need to adapt, with most of the discussion revolving around the physical infrastructure. There is a push to climate-proof the cities--from building sea walls and laying water-resistant power lines to introducing stricter building codes. But in the drive to reduce the impact of future calamities another vital element that saves lives tends to get forgotten--the social infrastructure.
