Rising sea levels and the future of coastal cities

Abstract: Despite the higher susceptibility to floods and a growing climate crisis, more than 10% of the world's population lives in low-elevation coastal zones - and that share is increasing. Guy Michaels and colleagues present a detailed picture of housing in these areas - and how rising sea levels may reshape cities.
