Podcast Feature: “Water Wants to Go Where It Has Always Gone”

I joined Chris Whitehead and Furhana Husani (Waterfront Alliance) for a conversation about how water connects natural systems, infrastructure, and human resilience.

Water doesn’t negotiate—it follows its nature.

In this episode of Perspectives on Sustainable Development Podcast, we explore what happens when we learn to design with, rather than against, natural systems.

The conversation moves from coastal flooding and infrastructure planning to the deeper question of how resilience depends on connection—between land and river, people and place, science and story.

“Water reminds us that resilience isn’t resistance—it’s movement.”
