Author of Charleston: Race, Water, and the coming storm

Video: Susan Crawford introduces Charleston: Race, Water, and the Coming Storm

The city of Charleston, with its explosive gentrification over the last thirty years, crystallizes a human tendency to value development above all else. At the same time, Charleston stands for our need to change our ways--and the need to build higher, drier, more densely-connected places where all citizens can live safely.

"It is ultimately, optimistic, we can do better. And the book asserts that we should be planning ahead for a better, thriving life for millions of people around the world."
