In this episode, landscape architect Kotchakorn Voraakhom joins host Hannah MacInnes to discuss how Bangkok is reclaiming its identity as a water-based city. From creating massive flood-retention parks to building Asia’s largest urban rooftop farm, Kotchakorn shares how nature-based design can help cities adapt to a changing climate while breaking down the bureaucratic silos that stand in the way of resilience.

Can technology and nature coexist to create truly resilient urban environments? Host Hannah MacInnes explores this question with ecological engineer Dr. Nadina Galle, who describes how a digital revolution is finally reaching urban ecology. In this episode, Nadina dives into the "Internet of Nature," detailing how tools like LiDAR and real-time sensors are allowing us to better map, monitor, and manage the green spaces in our cities. She addresses the common fear that technology replaces our connection to the wild, arguing instead that these tools act as a catalyst for human empathy and deeper engagement with the natural world around us.

In this episode of The Resilient City, host Hannah MacInnes and Kirsten Dunlop (CEO, Climate KIC) discuss how real change needs a complete, systematic change that goes beyond individual solutions. Kirsten explains that big, radical shifts only happen when there is a crisis, and the change is almost always "incredibly messy," but it is possible. She defines resilience as the fundamental capacity to keep trying and investing in solutions that make life measurably better, rather than snapping back to the old normal.
