Sheela Patel and Carrie Baptist also encouraged many individuals and organizations they know and who work on this topic to submit papers, and we the Editors are very grateful to them for their help in developing this issue of the Journal as well as for writing the editorial. The “Adapting cities to climate change ” and “Feedback” sections in the editorial were written by the Editor. To be counted in city surveys and to have documents to prove that you have been counted
