Abstract

This chapter is more of a commentary than straight discourse. It is a winding path of storytelling and discourse of considerations on the influences that are shaping the public discourse around sea rise which in turn influences risks and opportunities when planning the urban tactics for flooding in cities such as the Gold Coast. The Gold Coast being the traditional lands of my mother’s ancestors.
