Extreme Heat Depopulation Planning
09/17/21
“Why do we have to plan cities depopulating due to extreme heat?”
With the advent of climate change, cities in hot zones are going to lose population. Some are going to lose at such a drastic rate that depopulation may ensue. To make sure that everything is orderly, Extreme Heat Depopulation Planning must ensue so useful infrastructure does not go to waste and too much chaos does not ensue.
Wildfire-Hazard Population Analysis
04/29/21
“How can we conduct analysis on populations in wildfire hazard zones?”
Wildfire hazards can be greatly detrimental for the people living in them. However, some people may be more susceptible to more malevolent effects, such as disabled people being trapped inside their buildings. Because of this, Wildfire-Hazard Population Analysis needs to be completed to ensure proper distribution of resources.
Climate Migration Modeling
12/03/20
“How can we model climate migration?”
Climate migration is going to become a more important topic in the coming years as less land becomes habitable due to extreme heat, sea-level rise, and wildfires. To project how these changes will occur, Climate Migration Modeling can be undertaken by taking in climatic changes and economic drivers and seeing how demography will play out. This will be especially important for urban planners so they can design cities based on how many people will arrive or leave.
How Repeated Disasters Can Cause Climate Migration
09/30/20
“Why do repeated disasters cause climate migration?”
With the advent of climate change, disasters are becoming much more powerful and frequent, whether it be flooding in Bangladesh or wildfires in California. If these begin to happen year after year, then communities may move away from the affected area for safety. This is How Repeated Disasters Can Cause Climate Migration.
Population Increases and Water Demand
09/28/20
“What is the relationship between population increase and water demand?”
For a given area the population needs drinkable water. And if more people live in the area, then more water will need to be supplied. As a result, there is a direct relationship between Population Increases and Water Demand. In the future, this will need to be taken more into account in large urban areas as more people move in and fewer water resources become available.
Why Higher Population Growth Leads to Higher Energy Usage
09/03/20
“Why does a higher population growth lead to higher energy usage?”
The more people that a given area has, the more energy consumers it will have (if they have it). So logically, if the population grows, so will its energy users and therefore its energy usage. This is Why Higher Population Growth Leads to Higher Energy Usage. This is especially important for countries with high population growth and limited resources because the will have to provide for this increase.
