Description:Growth and development of urban environments can threaten the ecosystems of a city and its surrounding areas as undeveloped land is converted into impervious surfaces. This growth and land development, in turn, can lead to degraded ecosystem services, landscape fragmentation, and increased flooding and potential damage.1 This is particularly an issue for coastal cities as their coastal location makes them susceptible to natural disasters, such as flooding and hurricanes. When coastal cities’ locational vulnerability is coupled with land development and the expansion of its urban area, their vulnerability and risk of damages increases, as well as makes them less resilient to natural disasters.
