Cooling Cities – Advances in Urban Overheating and Mitigation Research

Abstract

This lecture aims to present and discuss recent research developments in the field of urban overheating, its impact on city life, and the development implementation and performance of advanced heat mitigation
studies to counterbalance the impact of increased urban temperatures. Recent results on the potential synergies between urban overheating and global climate change will be presented. Quantified data from numerous cities on the impact of urban overheating on peak electricity demand, energy consumption, electricity generation capacity, heat related mortality and morbidity, urban pollution and survivability of low income households will be reported as well.
