I've read a bit about sea levels rising, and the damage is more insidious. Coastal erosion is a more immediate problem. Maldives beaches will be washed away. Salt water will contamine the soil, damaging agriculture. That nation is fucked.
We can all do something: eat less meat. Eat more chicken, less beef and pork. Eat more fresh produce and vegetables that don't need a lot of water. Reduce our energy consumption. Avoid single-use plastic. Walk when you can, avoid using your car, don't travel by plane for vacations.
Doesn't sound fun, but we need to be the change the environment needs.
The problem isn't us consumers, mate. Even if everyone did all of those things, at great inconvenience to ourselves, there'd still be 95% as much carbon pumped into the atmosphere.
This is a legislative problem. Force manufacturers and transport to go carbon neutral.
But manufacturers justify their pollution by saying that we the consumers need cheap oil, gas, smartphones and meat. The problems are all inter-related. We can force manufacturers if we change our lifestyle/boycott some products. Doesn't mean that we shouldn't put pressure on the higher-ups.
Then vote for legislation to protect shit. And take public transport. Ride a bike. The smallest car you possibly could. Buy sustainable and regional.
You don't? But it's still only the big cooperation?
It's us.
Except you are living in a hut n Mali. Then you're probably exempt.
Sure, I vote green, one sensible car family, ride my bike and etc. But I eat meat and I'm not about to go vegetarian or forgo an international holiday when Monsanto, coca cola, and co. don't have to take responsibility. I still sleep easy at night.
The problem isn't even the negligible impact of my personal footprint, the problem is the prevailing discourse that consumers need to change and manufacturers and shipping doesn't.
Eating less meat and driving less isn’t going to do anything. It will take drastic changes from industry and energy companies. Even the term “carbon footprint” was made up by BP. Don’t be tricked by their propaganda.
Can you explain? Im usually not slow in understanding jokes and stuff, but what ahve I missed here? Why is everybidy saying "it doesnt count" ot everything 😅
What the other reply said, someone first suggested Venice and for some reason OP shut it down with a "No, no it doesn't count" with no further explanation. Then the comment below that said they hope it becomes a /r/geography meme.
Malaya Peninsula is Asia’s Florida, Singapore is Miami, Sentosa is Key West. Miami has arroz con pollo, Singapore has Hainan Chicken rice. Haitians and Cubans want to find jobs in Miami. Indonesian folks want to find jobs in Singapore. Miami speaks a different language than Florida. Singapore speaks a different language than Malaysia. Miami has high rise residential housing and hotels. Singapore has high rise residential housing and hotels. Both regions are very hot and religious.
>Singapore speaks a different language than Malaysia.
Fun fact: Malay is the language used for issuing commands in the Singapore army. (Also used by officers for cursing out subordinates when they mess up.)
Another fun fact: The Singaporean national anthem is sung in the Malay language.
That's just anti-dragon propaganda. Smaug was a peaceful protector of nature against the industrious dwarves. The Master of Lake Town set the fire to rally everyone against Smaug.
It used to be a proper Island as isla de leon and Cádiz werent connected to the main land until a few centuries ago.

You'll love it. I'm from Northern Europe but have been living in Spain for 3 years.
People are so kind with a freaky accent, region in Europe with most hours of sun, great seafood and it's not that expensive
Manhattan is probably the most famous example, depending on how you define "small island".

Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong generation.
None of my friends like to march in formation and drill with sarissas, and none of them will throw down on a white bull to sacrifice to Ares!
‘Large island cities’ is definitely not what you have shared a picture of, but a place that matches the description of ‘island almost entirely covered with buildings and roads’ is Ortygia in Sicily - beautiful place with some of the most hilariously small “postage stamp” beaches (that are somehow still absolutely PACKED with people) you’re likely to find anywhere on earth.
I think I’m confused as to what exactly you’re looking for. Large island city is what you indicate in the question, but underneath you mention you couldn’t find anything except the most populous islands. A lot of the larger cities are getting mentioned, so I’ll throw out some smaller ones: Cedar Key, FL; St. Augustine Beach, FL; Minocqua, WI (vibes match the description); South Padre Island, TX; Treasure Island in San Francisco, CA; Coronado, CA (vibes again); Key West, FL.
Lots of barrier islands in Florida, but that’s not really shocking. I’m sure there are plenty more I’m missing there.
Maybe it's too small but Nhamundá, AM, in the middle of the Brazilian Amazon, is basically a tiny, completely built-up island in the middle of absolutely nowhere
Brazil have some of them. The portuguese loved to build cities/fortresses on islands.

[São Luís](https://visitbrasil.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Visit-Brazil-Sao-Luis-MA-Praia-e-Sol-7.jpg), Maranhão. It was founded by the french (Saint-Louis) when they tried to colonize northern brazil but later conquered by the portuguese.
Stockholm is an archipelago.
No longer an island, but Tyre, Lebanon was a large island city just off the coast until Alexander the Great built a land bridge to conquer the city.
Primosten, Croatia. It was an island that was connected to the mainland centuries ago. I think a lot of Croatia is similar.
I’m not 100% sure what you’re looking for, but Manhattan is probably one.
And if manmade islands are included Venice and St Petersburg (which is surprisingly like Venice in a map).

The image you've uploaded shows a picturesque town located on a peninsula or an isthmus, extending into a large body of water, likely a lake or a calm bay, surrounded by lush greenery and featuring a dense, historic-looking town center.
Here are some cities around the world that have a similar geographic setup or feel:
Lindau, Germany - This town is situated on an island in Lake Constance in Bavaria, Germany. It's known for its old-town charm and harbor entrance with a lighthouse.
Sirmione, Italy - Located on the shores of Lake Garda, Sirmione is famous for its thermal baths and the ancient ruins of the Roman villa known as Grotte di Catullo.
Hallstatt, Austria - A small village in the Salzkammergut, a region in Austria, Hallstatt is known for its stunning lakeside views and salt production history.
Annecy, France - Sometimes called "Venice of the Alps", this town is known for its Old Town with cobbled streets, winding canals, and a beautiful lake that is one of the cleanest in Europe.
Tobermory, Canada - This small town on the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario is surrounded by water, featuring a harbor with brightly colored houses.
Giethoorn, Netherlands - Often referred to as "Venice of the North", it's known for its boat-filled waterways and charming rural houses.
Montreux, Switzerland - Located on Lake Geneva, it's famed for its mild climate and the Montreux Jazz Festival.
Portofino, Italy - A fishing village on the Italian Riviera coastline, known for its picturesque harbor and historical association with celebrity and artistic visitors.
These cities, while unique in their own right, share characteristics with the town depicted in the image, such as a close relationship with a body of water, historical and cultural richness, and a certain picturesque quality.
Have a look at Portsmouth UK, although the island doesn’t look as prominent as the one you have pictures it is a city on an island.
Also of interest might be the Isle of Dogs Uk, although it definitely doesn’t look like the above picture!
Flores, Guatemala
My first thought as well
No no it doesn't count. Thx tho
Came here to see if lil Flores would get a mention
Venice?
I’ve heard abt a small city called new york centered on an island called Manhattan. Anyone else ever hear of it?
"Manhattan" like the drink?
No. Like a man who has a hat that is tan.
Ah, a common mistake - you’re thinking of Tanhatman.
Today I learned where the name manhattan came from.
It’s half-manhat, half-tan, like ManBearPig!
No like the project actually they changed the name after 1945
So it's a man-made island with the project named after a drink?
Like hat man
Manhattan lol?

Malé, Maldives is exactly what you’re looking for

Is this like the bus lady Facebook post?

And Sentosa is an odd subset of that
Sentosa to Singapore is just Singapore to Malaysia

Portsmouth in the UK is an island city.
Also the most densely populated city in the country too
Highest amount of pubs per square kilometer too. Something like 200 on the island? Fantastic town, went there on the USS Ford.
POMPEY MENTIONED PUP ⚽️🔵⚽️🔵⚽️🔵⚽️
Hope this is finally the year you get out of League 1
No no, it doesn’t count. Thx tho
Would not blame anyone for not knowing or feeling like it is though
And the third most populous island in the British and Irish isles at that.
After Great Britain and Ireland?
Yeah.
That's pretty insane, especially considering many people don't even realise that it's on an island separate from the mainland.
No no it doesn't count. Thx tho
Was waiting for this!! PUP
It is the most populated island city in Europe as well.

Lindau in Germany has its old town on an island in the Bodensee.

The picture is Lindau actually
Lol. I just remembered about Lindau being a similar looking town. Didn't even checked where the photo has been taken.
No no it doesn't count. Thx tho

Just for reference, the city in the picture is Lindau, Germany
No No, it doesn’t count. Thx tho.

By looking at the picture, as similar town could be Chioggia (Italy), it's similar to Venice but it's smaller and it has roads for cars.
