Climate change and flooding put the "The Venice of Detroit" at risk (ft. Brian Allnutt)

Today’s guest is journalist Brian Allnutt, whose reporting for Planet Detroit about Detroit’s Jefferson Chalmers area and specifically the canal district has not only gotten attention, but set out the issues well for the historic and unique area known as “The Venice of Detroit.”

From the excerpt: “Climate gentrification” in cities like New Orleans and Miami has seen wealthier and whiter residents displace low-income residents and people of color in less flood-prone areas. But in Jefferson Chalmers, climate gentrification could mean that those with the resources to manage the risks and expense of living in a floodplain may replace those without them.”
