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. 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. 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.

Imagine a city bathed not in the golden glow of sunrise but in the shimmering embrace of the ocean. A futuristic metropolis, not chained to the constraints of land, but buoyant and free, dancing with the tides and whispering secrets to the waves. This isn't the stuff of science fiction; it's the ambitious vision of the Oceanix project, the world's first prototype for a sustainable floating city poised to redefine our relationship with the water. Nestled off the vibrant shores of Busan, South Korea, Oceanix isn't your typical concrete jungle. No towering skyscrapers pierce the sky, no endless ...

When biologist Hanna Bjørgaas spots a fairy cup lichen in Antarctica, she is surprised to recognize it from her own backyard in Oslo. When she returns home, she embarks on a journey into urban nature, visiting city parks, cemeteries, and concrete rooftops to investigate the species that live in urban spaces. Along the way, she meets corvids, songbirds, ants, pigeons, bats, sparrows, fungi, and linden trees—and the experts who study their surprising abilities to survive, and thrive, in the city.
