coastal cities
Harbors with populations
Coastal cities are urban centers located on or near a coastline, where land meets ocean or sea.
The term appears frequently in discussions of climate change, where rising sea levels and intensified storms threaten such populations: Coastal cities face increasing flood risk.
It also surfaces in contexts of trade, tourism, and migration patterns shaped by access to water.
