DESCRIPTION:*Abstract:* The work looks at the long-term future of our coas
 tal cities\, and different strategies to react positively to the problem o
 f rising sea-levels. We took three different approaches\; to RETREAT from 
 the rising waters\, to DEFEND the existing coastal line\, or to ATTACK the
  challenge head-on. Kingston-upon-Hull and Portsmouth were chosen as case 
 studies. Using these two cities\, the report provokes discussion by applyi
 ng far-sighted\, innovative and creative thinking. \n\n*Biography:* Charli
 e recently joined the Cities Programme at the London School of Economics. 
 He continues to work within RIBA Policy to engage students and architects 
 with sustainability in design. Over the past nine months Charlie has led R
 IBA's Sustainability Hub\; a growing web resource focused on design strate
 gies for sustainablilty.  While previously working with Building Futures\,
  RIBA's think-tank\, he authored  document "Facing Up to Rising Sea Levels
 ".
