Long description:
Adapting to Urban Heat: Strategies and Tools for Resilience in Low Carbon Cities provides a comprehensive and rigorous examination of the issues associated with adapting to climate change and building urban resilience. The book's editors have gathered an impressive team of authors to examine the implications of urban heat, tools for decoding and coding urban heat, and design strategies for adapting to urban heat. Sections explore the issue from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives, encompassing environmental engineering, climate change, ecology, data science, and architectural design.
This reference is an essential resource for researchers and practitioners working in environmental science and climate change who are interested in building more resilient and sustainable cities.
