What If You Moved an Entire City?

What If You Moved an Entire City?

Populations of people are already fleeing climate change across the globe. In North America, the Alaskan village of Newtok was faced with a mega slump caused by melting permafrost. As the layers of frozen soil melted, the ground became unstable. Homes started to sink and crumble. Coastal cities across the globe are planning how they will keep the sea away as it rises. One solution? Just move the city. How much would it cost? How do you lift a building? Where is this already happening? How severe can coastal flooding be?
