This week on the Construction Record podcast digital media editor Warren Frey speaks with IBI Group associate planning manager David Sol about flood risk assessment and mitigation planning.

Sol explained the challenges that large metropolitan areas such as Toronto and other densely populated areas face when dealing with flooding and explained that explained how a philosophy of adaption to flood cycles and creating structures exhibiting resiliency is a wiser course of action than trying to prevent a natural process.
