'Impossible to ignore:' The impact of climate change on Philadelphia's infrastructure

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

Destruction caused by extreme weather events is fresh in the Philadelphia area. Tropical Depression Ida tore through the region earlier this month, leaving behind a heartbreaking trail that pointed to a harsh truth: the Delaware Valley's infrastructure wasn't prepared for the storm. What's the best course moving forward amidst increasing evidence of climate change? "Resilient" and "robust" planning, according to Dr. Franco Montalto, Professor of Environmental Engineering in the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering at Drexel University. He joins KYW Newsradio's Matt Leon on KYW In Depth.
