We are living where we shouldn't be living. In more communities across the U.S., climate change is causing flooding, wildfires, extreme heat and sea level rise. According to a group at the Congress for New Urbanism Virtual Gathering, one solution is for communities threatened with climate impacts to move to "receiver cities." The hollowed-out "legacy" cities and small towns of the Midwest could become new homes for displaced climate migrants because they have solid infrastructure, many open lots and empty homes, access to water and lower risks of climate change-driven weather impacts.
