Extreme Cities

"Extreme Cities" by Ashley Dawson explores the critical role of urban areas in climate change, highlighting how many megacities—especially those located along coastlines—are vulnerable to rising sea levels and environmental threats. The book examines both the risks these cities face and the often misguided development practices that exacerbate them, offering insights into innovative adaptation strategies. Ultimately, it emphasizes the power of grassroots urban movements to forge a more just and resilient future amid the climate crisis.
