Imagine a time when a magnitude 7.5 earthquake on the Wellington Fault is as insignificant as a thunderstorm. Where the buildings we live and work in are built to withstand ground shaking and ground deformation caused by earthquakes.    This isn’t just a dream. Everyday scientists and engineers are working side by side to improve building, infrastructure, and urban design to be safer and more resilient to the effects of earthquakes.  With new technology uncovering the earth’s secrets, we have never been in a better position to use this knowledge to fortify our built environment and ensure we build smartly.  Seismologists Nicola Litchfield and Anna Kaiser come together to discuss the future of our dynamic landscape and how scientists are supporting smarter cities to keep people safer and the economy moving.
