As populations grew, demands emerged with greater impactful consequences. In this episode of World Ocean Radio, host Peter Neill will ask, "What will a 21st century waterfront look like? What will benefit the future welfare and health of urban populations? How will we make it work for us as a necessary and fulfilling reality in the future?"Listen to the episode here and you can listen to previous episodes here.
