Focus on environmental risks and migration: causes and consequences (2015, background): “Such figures of course hide the role of increasing population densities in urban centres, including the expansion ofmajor cities in coastal areas, and indeed in large deltas around the world (Seto 2011).”
Future Coastal Population Growth and Exposure to Sea-Level Rise and Coastal Flooding - A Global Assessment (2015, background): “Most of the world’s megacities are located in the coastal zone [8] and many of these are situated in large deltas, where combinations of specific economic, geographic and historical conditions to date attract people and drive coastal migration [9].”
Coastal flood damage and adaptation costs under 21st century sea-level rise (2014, background): “For many locations it is observed that coastal population and asset exposure are growing faster than the national average trends assumed here due to coastward migration and urbanization (27).”
