When the sea reclaims the land that brick took from it: from Gandía to Mexico

The article discusses the impact of climate change on coastal urbanization, highlighting the collapse of Punta Paraíso in Mexico and the ongoing issues faced by buildings like Neptuno in Gandía, Spain. Punta Paraíso, built on coastal dunes, partially collapsed due to erosion and high waves, prompting its evacuation and planned demolition. The situation reflects a broader trend of coastal development leading to vulnerability against climate effects. Activists opposing such developments face legal threats, exemplified by Erik Saracho's case. The article also notes that urbanization along the Spanish coast has increased significantly, with regions like Valencia facing severe risks from climate change, as evidenced by recent storms causing extensive damage.
