San Francisco's Mayor Tiffany Wong-Gonzalez has aspirations for her visionary Gaiapolis 2050 Plan, but nature has a mind of its own. The City is pounded by climate disaster after disaster -- wildfires, climate refugees, massive homelessness, food riots, atmospheric rivers, flooding, mudslides, power outages and cyber attacks. How can her loyal team protect citizens when the City is running a billion-dollar deficit? Only the creative can survive and thrive. "Gaiapolis" provides a roller coaster view of the harsh political realities facing cities as climate chaos intensifies in the coming years, but also practical ideas for future-proofing resilient green cities. In Part II, Mayor Tiffany runs for the U.S. presidency as the Green Party candidate whose rollicking campaign leads to a major electoral surprise. The irony? Climate realities are becoming harsher than fiction so read this book to prepare yourself!
