Future sister cities -- a strategy for climate adaptation (slrpnk.net)

I'm reading a book titled Deep Time Reckoning by Vincent Ialenti which is about how we consider and plan for how the world will look in the far future. In it, he proposes a very Solarpunk idea called 'future sister cities' where communities will be paired with other communities that in the future have climates analogous to their own. This is intended to help share knowledge about how to design infrastructure, natural systems, and human endeavors to be more in line with the climates that towns, villages, and cities will experience in the future.

I imagine this will be something that happens anyway, even if cities aren't paired explicitly. There will be plenty of current and historical data to pull from, and cities will have to adapt to whatever climate in which they find themselves.
