Cities can’t afford ‘business as usual’ amid extreme events

Cities used to be judged mainly by their economy and infrastructure, but today’s world demands a new approach. As climate change and technological advances reshape our landscapes, cities must pivot to resilience and adaptability to stay competitive. Consider Miami—a city taking proactive steps against climate risks—which now stands as a model for attracting investment. With AI and advanced tech paving the way, cities that embrace these changes will thrive, safeguarding both their citizens and future economic viability.
