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

Provides an interdisciplinary approach to the study and understanding of urban heat islands
Presents evidence-based strategies to for adapting to climate change and building urban resilience
Includes a critical assessment of the role data science and GIS technologies play in climate change and urban planning
