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.

This article summarises 'Cities and the sea level' by Yatang Lin, Thomas K.J. McDermott and Guy Michaels, CEP discussion paper No. 1758.
