Acclaimed author-artist Victoria Tentler-Krylov highlights cities that are fighting climate change around the world in this gorgeously illustrated picture book about sustainability and green building

As people, animals, and even plants all over the world face environmental changes--rising sea levels, droughts, frequent and intense hurricanes and floods, and more--our cities must adapt.

We hear the terms "greenhouse effect" and "global warming," but what do they mean? And can cities be rethought to not only fight climate change but to become more sustainable and meet the varying needs of their populations?

From the living roofs of Singapore to the Netherlands' floating parks made of recycled trash, and innovative environmental efforts like transforming the Chicago River and saving the sinking city of Venice, many cities around the world have been incorporating new ways to fight these issues head-on. In Our Cities Depend on Us, author-illustrator and architect Victoria Tentler-Krylov shows young readers how cities around the world are taking action and how we must reimagine our urban areas to protect their history and more importantly provide them and us a future.
