A cutting exploration of how cities drive climate change while being on the frontlines of the coming climate crisisHow will climate change affect our lives? Are we doing enough to protect ourselves from the coming chaos? Where will its impacts be most deeply felt?
Today, the majority of the world's megacities are located in coastal zones, yet few of them are adequately prepared for the floods that will increasingly menace their shores. In Extreme Cities, Ashley Dawson argues that cities are ground zero for climate change, contributing the lion's share of carbon to the atmosphere, while also lying on the frontlines of rising sea levels. Instead, most continue to develop luxury waterfront condos for the elite and industrial facilities for corporations.
These not only intensify carbon emissions, but also place coastal residents at greater risk when water levels rise.
