🗓 6 October, 10:00 to 11:30 CET Extreme heat is rapidly becoming one of Europe's most pressing urban challenges as we are facing increasingly frequent, intense heatwaves. Yet while we can measure temperatures with ever greater precision, the way people experience heat is far more complex. Comfort, safety, accessibility, quality of life are shaped not only by climate, but also by urban design, social inequalities and everyday choices cities make about public space. So, understanding the way people actually experience heat remains important for designing effective and inclusive responses. Organised during URBAN OCTOBER, this webinar explores how cities can respond to rising temperatures while creating more inclusive, resilient and people-centred public spaces. Adapting to heat is not simply a technical challenge. It is also a democratic one. Which neighbourhoods are prioritised? Whose comfort matters? How do we involve citizens in shaping cooler, healthier cities? The webinar invites participants to explore urban heat through multiple lenses. Combining urban design, psychology, art, science and practical experimentation, it asks the question of how can cities better understand, communicate and respond to thermal stress in public spaces?
