Climate risk factors, including wildfire, sea level rise, inland flooding, and extreme heat, as well as gentrification displacement pressures will be primary drivers of migration in the coming years. Travel demand modeling relies on reasonable and appropriate forecasts of demographic totals at the detail of travel analysis zones. Methodologies for developing scenarios in response to individual and combined climate risk factors are described, drawing on work undertaken for the Southern California Association of Governments SoCal Regional Climate Adaptation Framework. Methodologies for developing scenarios in response to gentrification displacement pressures of low-income workers are described, drawing on work carried out for the California Statewide Freight Forecasting and Travel Demand Model. These methodologies leverage modeling tools that are readily available to agencies, allowing for rapid testing of scenarios and integration with other planning processes. Climate adaptation and housing policy, respectively, are currently in need of greater integration and coordination. Future directions are explored to integrate these methodologies and create a combined demographic relocation model, sensitive to both climate risk factors and the affordability and gentrification displacement pressures arising out of shifting demand–supply dynamics and population–job balance in high growth areas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
