Coastal cities like Atlantic City and Cartagena are facing increased flood risks due to sinking land exacerbated by rising sea levels. Atlantic City is set to receive a $20 million facelift for a section of its iconic boardwalk, with additional repairs totaling $26 million underway. The sinking land, sinking at a rate of 2-5mm annually on the east coast, could more than double flooding, impacting development plans and posing challenges for cities like Houston.
