Adapting to Urban Heat: -

. .

Résumé :
As global temperatures rise, urban areas face unprecedented challenges from intensified heat. Adapting to Urban Heat offers a comprehensive exploration of design strategies and tools essential for building resilience in low-carbon cities.
The book covers the following topics:
? Setting the stage for urban heat adaptation: An introduction to the pressing need for adaptive measures in urban environments.
? Understanding, mitigating, and adapting to urban overheating: Insights into the impacts of urban heat and the latest mitigation technologies, including the interplay between advanced materials, nature, buildings, and human behavior.
? Designing for urban heat adaptation: Practical design strategies aimed at enhancing microclimates and user comfort at the neighborhood scale, with a focus on the relationship between urban forms and greenery.
? Tools for decoding and coding urban heat: An examination of data science, urban meteorological networks, remote sensing, GIS applications, and modeling techniques that inform effective heat adaptation strategies...
