"And Buffalo isn’t alone. Planners in cities such as Cleveland, Ohio; Ann Arbor, Michigan; Duluth, Minnesota; and elsewhere are beginning to map out what a future with thousands more residents could—and should—look like." https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/climate-change-haven-cities via #natgeo re: #climatehavens #climateurbanism et al.
Which cities will still be livable in a world altered by climate change?
