Coastal City Risks [EPUB ebook] 

Supporto

Coastal City Risks examines the growing threats facing urban centers along coastlines due to climate change, exploring how these cities are adapting to rising sea levels and intensifying coastal hazards. The book uniquely integrates Earth Sciences, geography, and environmental studies to provide a comprehensive understanding of climate change adaptation and urban resilience.

Intriguing facts within include the potential for large-scale displacement due to socio-economic impacts and the necessity of moving away from traditional top-down approaches in favor of more inclusive and equitable strategies.

The book progresses logically, first establishing a scientific foundation of climate change and coastal geomorphology. It then analyzes the impacts on sectors like housing and transportation before evaluating adaptation pathways, such as infrastructure and policy instruments.

Case studies from cities worldwide illustrate adaptation successes and failures, offering valuable lessons. The approach emphasizes not only physical sciences but also the social, economic, and political dimensions, making it a resource for policymakers, urban planners, and anyone interested in coastal management and climate policy.
