Katrina Wiberg et al., The Little Blue Atlas (Det Lille Blå Atlas: Undersøgelser på Danmarkskort af relationer mellem hav, kystby og land) (Arkitektskolens Forlag, 2022), see ➝, is part of a shared research project "Coastal Cities and the rising sea – new solution spaces” by Aarhus School of Architecture, Copenhagen University, and Danish Technical University.

The selection follows a report on expected storm surge damage costs over the next hundred years in 48 Danish Coastal cities (COWI, Byernes udvikling ift. udfordringerne med havvand og stormflod (Realdania, 2017); COWI, Byernes udfordringer med havvandsstigning og stormflod (Realdania, 2022)). The number of case studies, however, increased from 48 to 54 to include a pool of cities that have participated in the project “Cities and the rising sea-levels” by Realdania in order to make further use of existing knowledge from this project.
With increasing urbanization and projected population growth in coastal zones—and with only 15% of the world's natural coastlines intact—these practices are also of concern in the biodiversity crisis. “Population Facts.
