In the case of Paris, 1910, explain why the city’s geographical setting was prone to flooding, and explain why the efforts of city engineers to alleviate flooding actually made matters worse by creating possibilities for negative synergies. Be sure to discuss George Bechmann’s understanding of urbanization and nature. Be sure to discuss Paris’s infrastructural development. Be sure to explain how the 1910 flood unfolded in ways that reveal Homer-Dixon’s concepts of negative synergies and boundary jumping stemming from infrastructural developments and Bechmann’s possibly misguided understanding of cities and nature.
In the case of Houston, 2016 and 2017, explain why the city’s geographical setting is prone to flooding, and explain how urban development has exacerbated the risk of flooding.
For both Paris and Houston in the 21st century, are engineers and flood management committees on the right track to reducing flood risk and improving city resilience, or are they repeating errors of the past? Be sure to discuss flood management proposals based on class lectures (PowerPoints are on Canvas) and the essays by Jeffrey Jackson, Kim Willsher, and John Jacob (on Canvas).
