The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report paints a grim picture of climate change, predicting soaring heat stress worldwide. Globally, heat is a silent killer that is already responsible for more deaths than any other natural disaster. Worryingly, the Urban Heat Island effect can amplify city temperatures by up to 10°C compared to peri-urban surroundings, posing significant health risks. Despite this, the design and planning implications of increasing temperatures on urban precincts, public open spaces and housing remain poorly understood. Preparing urban communities to be ‘climateready’ is critical, and there is a need for innovative urban design and planning strategies to underpin urban adaptation measures.
1. Select a 200 x 200m site in a city or town worldwide. This site can be developed or undeveloped in its existing state. 2. Research projected 2099 climate conditions of your chosen city or town using IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report and Interactive Atlas, assuming an SSP3-7.0 (+4°C) scenario. 3. Adapt the site to projected climate conditions, focusing on extreme temperatures.
