Urban scholars and policymakers now recognise the need to address justice concerns associated with cities' responses to climate change. However, little empirical research has examined whether and how cities have integrated justice into climate mitigation planning. Here, we show that large cities in the...
Townships are technically county subdivisions and often act more like a county than a city/town. However, in the Northeast many townships are functionally equivalent to cities. Therefore, we include townships in the following states: ME, VT, NH, MA, RI, CT, NJ, NY, PA. If a place is...

On the Pacific coast, we find a considerable divergence in the impacts of relative SLR compared with the US Atlantic and Gulf coasts. By 2050, the cumulative exposed area from ten cities on the US Pacific coast is 20–40 km2, with a population exposure of 6,000–30,000 people and 3...
ethnic restaurants—but not chains—in a given county. The size of local Hispanic and Asian populations also is linked to non-ethnic ownership of ethnic restaurants, and the availability of local Asian and Hispanic cuisine is strongly associated with education levels of the white majoritypopulation....
While these programs face criticism for “utilitizing” Internet connections, they have been a successful driver of economic growth in dozens of cities and towns across the US. [4] Farther down the line, space enthusiasts have been rallying around Elon Musk’s of SpaceX’s plan to build ...
Air pollution contributes to the global burden of disease, with ambient exposure to fine particulate matter of diameters smaller than 2.5 μm (PM2.5) being identified as the fifth-ranking risk factor for mortality globally1. Racial/ethnic minorities and lower-income groups in the USA are at a ...
Trump’s near-win there in 2016 buoyed Republicans’ hopes that it would follow Wisconsin, where the GOP’s margins of victory among White working-class voters were enough to overcome Democrats’ performance in cities and suburbs. His campaign hoped that White suburban backlash would follow racial...
