Climate affects people and the places where they live. Seasons, temperatures, precipitation types and amounts, and extreme weather conditions all contribute to the identity of a region or city. A key factor in many aspects of community planning is adapting to the local climate, and designing and maintaining the infrastructure needed to serve those that live there. If the climate of an area is expected to change, a community will need to proactively consider the impact on land use decisions and how infrastructure systems are managed.
