The book Disposable City by Mario Alejandro Ariza addresses the impacts of climate change on Miami, Florida, which is at risk of being completely submerged by the end of the century. The author, a resident of the city, reveals the current realities of rising sea levels, such as floods caused by high tidal waves and the gradual collapse of infrastructure. The narrative focuses on how climate change affects the most vulnerable communities, mainly people of color, who face floods, rising housing costs, and dangerous temperatures.
As politicians continue to ignore the issue, wealthy residents and real estate investors have the ability to move away, while the more vulnerable communities are left behind to deal with the consequences. Disposable City offers a thorough insight into the social, economic, and psychological damage caused by climate change, urging us to act before it is too late.
