Leading United States landscape architect Kristina Hill has visited Christchurch and shared her views on the opportunity the city has to adapt to the changing global environment, particularly around climate change and sea level rise.

Kristina Hill is an associate professor of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning at the University of California, Berkeley.  She studies urban ecology and hydrology in relationship to physical design and social justice issues and one of her key focusses is in adapting urban districts and shore zones to the new challenges associated with climate change.
