The 2014 water crisis in Flint, Michigan was an unprecedented environmental disaster in terms of scale and scope, but how do we really connect what led to it with what's happened, and what will happen, in the city? This talk will offer insights into the social, economic, and political causes of the Flint Water Crisis, and present assessments and forecasts into its consequences.
