In a time of rising seas and intensifying storms, one of the world's wealthiest, most-educated cities made a fateful decision to spend billions of dollars erecting a new district along its coast - on landfill, at sea level. Unlike other places imperiled by climate change, this neighborhood of glass towers housing some of the world's largest companies was built well after scientists began warning of the threats, including many at its renowned universities.

But with seas rising inexorably, and at an accelerating rate, others are calling the neighborhood by a different name: Inundation District.—David Abel
