Researchers have investigated how changes in urban land and population will affect future populations’ exposures to weather extremes under climate conditions at the end of the 21st century. They used a data-driven model to predict how urban areas across the country will grow by 2100, and found that how a city is laid out or organized spatially has the potential to reduce population exposures to future weather extremes.

Their body shape and biology has hardly changed since then. Read The Full Article Here
