DESCRIPTION:Parasitic Resilience? Governing Water across Urban-Rural Divide
 s in Asian Mega-RegionsLinda Shi\, Department of City and Regional Plannin
 g\, Cornell University.&nbsp\; Abstract: Dominant discourse on resilient c
 ities reifies cities as agents of change in reducing urban vulnerability t
 o climate change. Our research on water supply\, floodwater\, and post-dis
 aster flood risk mitigation management in four Asian mega-regions complica
 tes this notion by demonstrating how urban and rural regions depend on and
  exploit one another in responding to a changing climate. These dynamics s
 uggest a form of “parasitic resilience” where the well-being of one geogra
 phy is predicated on the vulnerability of another. By privileging the city
  or the metropolis\, policies and programs can overlook the holistic\, sys
 tems-scale impacts to human and ecological well-being.This event is sponso
 red by the Geography Department of the Maxwell School of Syracuse Universi
 ty. &nbsp\;For accommodation requests\, please contact Deborah Toole at da
