How do we think about the boundaries between land and water? Dilip da Cunha argues that those boundaries have always been much more fluid—literally. And he argues that the history of how we’ve organized cities is one of ever-increasing efforts to control, subjugate, and manage water while colonizing the land into administered parcels of private property. Dilip and his late partner, Anuradha Mathur, argue that climate change is actually helping us recognize how uncertain it is that there’s no such thing as "dry land". It all gets rained on to some degree, and climate change is erasing those lines. We need to better prepare ourselves and our cities for how to design for conditions of ubiquitous wetness.
