Specific Ways to Prepare U.S. Cities to Accept Domestic Climate Migrants: More Affordable Housing

Specific Ways to Prepare U.S. Cities to Accept Domestic Climate Migrants: More Affordable Housing | The Urban Lens Newsletter

No one knows how many residents, if any, along the Northeast U.S. coast are struggling this week to decide if last weekend’s unexpected deluge of rain was their “final straw.” 

Tens of thousands of low- and moderate-income residents of the New Jersey coastline, New York City’s waterlogged boroughs, and/or Long Island are once again cleaning up flooded basements and first-floor units, coping with flooded cars that they parked along crowded streets, and filing for unemployment if their places of work were inundated.

Farewell, Chris Duke - ASPBAE Secretary General (1972-1985)

ASPBAE and the adult education movement has lost another one of its own. On 22 June 2023, Dr. Chris Duke, former ASPBAE Secretary General (1972-1985) passed on.

Chris Duke was a towering figure in the adult education movement. A significant part of what ASPBAE has accomplished and reached today is built on Chris' vision and exemplary work. ASPBAE owes him a huge debt of gratitude.
