In this seminar, Prof. Smith will discuss how repeated flooding events in the Calder Valley (North England) have influenced patterns of investment, displacement, and migration. Drawing on longitudinal research since the mid-1990s, the talk explores how climate risks may disrupt or reshape gentrification processes and contribute to debates on climate migration.

📣 We warmly invite researchers, students, and practitioners interested in climate mobility, migration, and urban change to join us.
