| Abstract | Both Venice and Miami are highly vulnerable to sea level rise and climate change. Their large populations; valuable infrastructure, real estate and cultural heritage; sea level location; high economic dependency on tourism; as well as their access to advanced scientific data and technological expertise point to their similarities. Yet their responses have been quite different. We examine the two cities ́ biophysical environments, their socioeconomic bases, the legal and administrative structures, and their vulnerabilities and responses to sea level rise and flooding. Our study uses a qualitative approach to illustrate how governance addressing adaptation has emerged in the two coastal cities. Based on this information we critically compare the different adaptive responses of Venice and Miami and suggest what each city may learn from the other, as well as offer lessons for other vulnerable coastal cities. Decisionmakers must address the complex issue of rising seas by a combination of scientific knowledge and socio-economic expertise. |
