Urban designers Baxter Hankin, Garlynn Woodsong, and Matt Lambert discussed the concept of "receiver cities and towns" and how they are important to climate change adaptation and mitigation. Receiver places are likely to gain migrants as climate change problems build. Place Initiative, a small nonprofit with CNU connections, recently published a Receiving Geography Guide and a Community Principles Guide. They have identified more than 600 likely "receiver cities and towns."
