With ever-increasing climate change impacts on our living environments and continuous calamities and natural disasters around the world, we urge for new approaches, apt action, and adequate support to boost cooling strategies for the built environments. To achieve this goal, research, practice, and policy could do much more to provide us with new pathways to achieve sustainable development. This book is a comprehensive collection of theoretical perspectives and global case study examples focused on three core areas of (1) concepts, theories, and trends, (2) mitigation and adaptation strategies, and (3) policies. The book is of use to various stakeholders and more importantly to urban specialists, planners and designers, policymakers, academics, practitioners, and developers. We urge them to mitigate climate change before it gets too late. We are confident the book could provide readers with new ideas, strategies, and directions that could lighten up the path toward new actions, policies, and innovation. 410 0$aUrban Sustainability,$x2731-6491 606 $aSustainable architecture 606 $aSustainability 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings 606 $aSustainability 606 $aHuman Geography 615 0$aSustainable architecture. 615 0$aSustainability. 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 14$aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings. 615 24$aSustainability. 615 24$aHuman Geography. 676 $a307.1216 701 $aCheshmehzangi$b Ali$0849626 701 $aHe$b Bao-Jie$01427293 701 $aSharifi$b Ayyoob$01427294 701 $aMatzarakis$b Andreas$01427295 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910743690803321 996 $aClimate Change and Cooling Cities$93560194 997 $aUNINA
