This volume examines the relationship between urban form, buildings, infrastructure, and responses to climate change. Its contributors connect planning, urban design, and architecture across scales, considering both reductions in emissions and adaptation to changing environmental conditions.
The book assesses urban climate factors, system efficiency, building envelopes, surface materials, and green and blue infrastructure. Metrics for extreme weather, human comfort, and other aspects of the built environment support comparisons of design choices. Discussion of co-mapping, co-design, and evaluation connects technical assessment with the work of practitioners and communities.
