This comprehensive volume showcases the immense value of urban climate science in shaping healthy cities. By presenting a wealth of case-based urban climatic planning applications across diverse regions and countries, the book exemplifies the concept of "Science in Time, Science in Place." It draws upon relevant climatic-spatial planning experiences to address local climatic and environmental health challenges. The book is organized into three major sections: "The Rise of Mega-cities and the Concept of Climate Resilience and Healthy Living," "Urban Climate Science in Action," and "Future Challenges and the Way Forward." It compellingly argues for the recognition of climate as a fundamental component of healthy cities. The topics covered include:
• Urban resilience in a climate context
• Climate-responsive planning and urban climate interventions for healthy cities
• Managing climate extremes and their public health impacts
• Understanding the health risks associated with urban climate
• Urban design and planning strategies to promote sustainability
• Governance and management of sustainable urban development at various scales
This book will captivate an international audience of practicing planners and designers, public health and built environment professionals, social scientists, researchers in epidemiology, climatology, and biometeorology, as well as international city-scale policy makers.
