Too Big, authored by Henk Ovink and Jelte Boeijenga, tells the inside story of the American federal response in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. The late 2012 storm that ravaged the New York-New Jersey region revealed the true physical and social vulnerabilities that all coastal cities face.
16 April | Democratic lives in the 21st century
Panel discussion hosted by Commonwealth Local Government ForumInternational IDEA and LSE Cities
Globalisation, geo-political power shifts, the changing role and structure of governments and institutions, the rise of populism and new technologies that mediate the political process have all contributed to anxieties around how cities and nations are governed. This panel will explore what impacts governance innovations have on the way our societies are governed and how to ensure key democratic value systems are protected.
