From rising sea levels in Mumbai to unbearable heat in Houston, cities around the world are feeling the effects of climate change. Unfortunately, they don’t always have the right infrastructure to handle its impacts — which is one reason why cities are beginning to reimagine urban design. One of these designs is a “sponge city.”
Although one city design certainly won’t save us from the effects of climate change, “sponge cities” can help with how we live with it.
Here are some studies and articles we used to inform our reporting:

[Advertiser Content From Seventh Generation]
The emergence of cars in the early 20th century transformed modern U.S. cities, leading to a substantial increase in global greenhouse gas emissions. Car-centric infrastructure, characterized by wide roads and highways, became dominant in urban landscapes. However, the cities of the future offer an opportunity for transformation. By taking inspiration from ancient cities, they can prioritize public transportation and foster human connection, resulting in reduced emissions and more accessibility. @gnd_network #ad")

Why are there so many scam victims? It all comes down to survival instincts. Humans are predisposed to go with the flow for our own gain - that can mean we listen when someone who sounds like they are from our bank (but isn’t) is trying to help us. Call the number on your bank-issued card - your real bank will let you know if anything is truly wrong.
