About the series Sinking Cities:
As the earth warms, sea levels rise and super-storms become more frequent and intense, many of the world’s major coastal cities may soon be under water. The four-part Sinking Cities series explores how four global cities – New York, Toyko, London and Miami – are coming to grips with the real-time effects of rising seas and extreme weather.

Sinking Cities is a 2018 production of Cineflix (Cities) Inc. in association with THIRTEEN.

Major funding for Sinking Cities is provided by Dr. P. Roy and Diana T. Vagelos. Additional funding is provided by Sue and Edgar Wachenheim III, The Marc Haas Foundation, the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations and public television viewers.
