It synthesizes interdisciplinary research with practical policy, putting an emphasis on positive environmental and socially just outcomes and urban regeneration. Hot Cities offers insights from eminent academics and practitioners, providing both a practical and theoretical outlook on strategy development in a climate crisis. Chapters call for urgent responses to the urban heat problem, providing future projections to illustrate why this is important. They highlight that despite prominent issues within cities, such as maladaptive practices or unsustainable path dependency in city policy and planning, urban spaces are likely to be the safest and most protected locations from the uncompromising outcomes of global warming. This enlightening book will be incredibly useful for scholars of human geography, urban planning, climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction, environmental humanities, urban design and urban and regional studies. Due to its broad applicability, it will also benefit design practitioners and community developers"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aCities Series 606 $aCity planning$xClimatic factors 606 $aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy 606 $aMetropolitan areas$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aPublic spaces$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aSustainability$xLaw and legislation 606 $aWildfires$xClimatic factors 615 0$aCity planning$xClimatic factors. 615 0$aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aMetropolitan areas$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aPublic spaces$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aSustainability$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aWildfires$xClimatic factors. 676 $a307.76 700 $aSteele$b Wendy$0846208 702 $aHandmer$b John W. 702 $aMcShane$b Ian 712 02$aEdward Elgar Publishing, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910741335203321 996 $aHot cities$93559699 997 $aUNINA
