Synergies between local climate change, energy consumption of buildings and energy poverty, and health risks highlight the necessity to develop mitigation strategies to counterbalance overheating impacts. The studies presented here assess the underlying issues related to urban overheating. Further, the impacts of temperature extremes on the low-income population and increased morbidity and mortality have been discussed. The increasing intensity, duration, and frequency of heatwaves due to human-caused climate change is shown to affect underserved populations. Thus, housing policies on resident exposure to intra-urban heat have been assessed. Finally, opportunities to mitigate urban overheating have been proposed and discussed. 517 $aSurvivability under Overheating 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $aMediterranean 610 $asemi-arid 610 $adrought 610 $astandardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) 610 $aclimate warming 610 $asoil moisture 610 $aurban heat islands 610 $aenvironmental justice 610 $aclimate change 610 $aredlining 610 $aheatwave 610 $adiurnal temperature range 610 $atime-series 610 $arelative risk 610 $ahealth 610 $atranspiration cooling 610 $acoastal cities 610 $asap flow 610 $asubtropical desert climate 610 $aurban overheating 610 $acluster analysis 610 $aair temperature 610 $awind speed and wind directions 610 $asynoptic conditions 610 $aurban heat island 610 $amitigation 610 $aresilience 610 $asurvivability 610 $alow-income population 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aSynnefa$b Afroditi$4edt$01321488 702 $aHaddad$b Shamila$4edt 702 $aRajagopalan$b Priya$4edt 702 $aSantamouris$b Matthaios$4edt 702 $aSynnefa$b Afroditi$4oth 702 $aHaddad$b Shamila$4oth 702 $aRajagopalan$b Priya$4oth 702 $aSantamouris$b Matthaios$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557295403321 996 $aSurvivability under Overheating$93034582 997 $aUNINA
