The distribution of the most populated cities and the selected cities for this study on the world map of Köppen–Geiger climate classification. Purple and black symbols depict the top populated cities around the world and the selected cities for this study, respectively (see “Methods” for the details on how to select cities). Cities are grouped by Köppen–Geiger climate classes: tropical, arid, temperate, and cold33. The legend in the lower left-hand corner indicates Köppen–Geiger climate subclasses. Cities were located on the map using ArcGIS 10.8 software (www.esri.com/software/arcgis).
