520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. Reflects on the fact that homes and offices are mainly designed for past climates, and they need to be updated for 21st-century weather. Warns that if buildings are not climate proofed, insurance will be harder to get, and property prices will fall. Key challenges highlighted include longer, drier summers reducing water supply, leading to subsidence, rising water tables and waterlogged soil causing flooding, and aging drainage system which cannot cope with more intense rainfall. Key solutions include avoiding building homes on flood plains, and developing more green areas in urban environments to soak up excess rainwater.
