Boston's History of Made Land | Inundation District | Clip | Local, USA

Historian Nancy S. Seasholes walks through Boston and the capital's history from peninsula to "gaining ground" by making land using landfill. The author explains why the coastal city, especially its now developed neighborhood known as the Seaport district, is vulnerable to sea level rise and flooding.

INUNDATION DISTRICT: In one of the world’s most-educated cities, INUNDATION DISTRICT examines the implications of a decision to ignore the threats posed by climate change and spend billions of dollars on building a new waterfront neighborhood - on landfill, at sea level. By David Abel and Ted Blanco.
