Urban Ecology for Citizens and Planners, 2021
Cities often experience a climate phenomenon known as the urban heat island, where the built form, building materials, and lack of vegetation modify temperature, wind, rain, and humidity. Radiating heat from building materials, roads, and utilities form a dome of warm air where the transfer of heated air to and from building surfaces doesn’t allow for ...

Since the 1990s, a burgeoning literature has emerged on the politics and governance of urban climate. It is now evident that urban responses to climate change involve a diverse range of actors as well as forms of agency that cross traditional boundaries, and which have diverse consequences for (dis)empowering different social groups. This book provides
