Cities Under Heat Stress

Act as a policy analyst and design a heat-resilience plan for a dense European city where many residents live in rented housing and cannot easily retrofit their homes. Address building standards, shade and cooling in public spaces, rental protections, emergency planning, outreach to older adults and low-income households, and the economics of preventing avoidable heat-related deaths. Compare which interventions are most effective, which are politically feasible, and how to measure success over time.
