Drivers, processes, and impacts of sinking cities [1]. Sinking cities are urban environments that are in danger of disappearing due to their rapidly changing landscapes.The largest contributors to these cities becoming unlivable are the combined effects of climate change (manifested through sea level rise, intensifying storms, and storm surge), land subsidence, and accelerated urbanization. [2]
Subsidence frequently causes major problems in karst terrains, where dissolution of limestone by fluid flow in the subsurface creates voids (i.e., caves).If the roof of a void becomes too weak, it can collapse and the overlying rock and earth will fall into the space, causing subsidence at the surface.
With California introducing the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act in 2014, new estimations of subsidence based on water usage plans have revealed that stretches of the California Aqueduct are still at a substantially high risk of subsidence. These projections range from 10-15 feet of subsidence in the most at risk areas. [16]

Cities is a role-playing supplement that is "generic" in nature — that is, it is not designed for any specific role-playing game system. Two editions of the book were published by Midkemia Press, in 1979 [1] and 1983; [2] Chaosium published a third edition in 1986 titled Cities: Create and Explore Your Own Fantasy Communities.
