Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Sideways Look, I unpack the unintended consequences of climate resilience investments. From flood barriers to green rooftops, these projects are designed to protect communities from climate change but often end up displacing the very people most vulnerable to its impacts. This episode distinguishes traditional gentrification from green gentrification, explores real-world examples, and questions how current public policy can be reimagined to center justice and equity.
