A sunny, futuristic eco-city by the ocean, with green-roofed buildings, an elevated train on a solar-paneled track, and breaking waves.

Design a Climate-Proof CityYour Challenge Imagine the future! Your task is to draw a city that is protected from climate change impacts such as flooding, erosion, sea-level rise, drought, and extreme weather. Your design should look creative AND show scientific understanding. What to Include in Your City Label at least 6 features. For each one, explain how it helps protect the city by managing erosion, deposition, or flooding.Ideas you could use: 🌿 Green roofs – absorb rainwater, reduce flooding 🌳 Tree-lined streets – slow down surface runoff and reduce erosion 🧱 Sea walls / flood barriers – protect the coastline from waves and rising sea levels 💧 Rainwater tanks – store water during heavy rain 🏞️ Wetlands / mangroves – trap sediment (deposition) and reduce storm impacts 🚲 Bike lanes & public transport – reduce pollution and help mitigation ☀️ Solar panels / wind turbines – renewable energy to reduce climate change 🏡 Raised buildings – protected from flooding 🛑 Stronger storm-proof buildings – withstand extreme weather 🧩 Permeable pavements – allow water to soak into the ground Success Criteria ✔️ ☐ I have drawn a detailed future city. ☐ I have labelled at least six climate-proof features. ☐ I have explained how each feature helps reduce erosion, deposition, or flooding. ☐ I have used key vocabulary: climate change, sea level rise, extreme weather, mitigation, adaptation. ☐ My drawing is neat, coloured, and clearly labelled.
