Living with Urban Heat: Becoming Climate-Ready in Social Housing

该项目旨在通过关注社会实践在补充技术和基础设施降温解决方案方面所发挥的作用，解决快速变暖城市的宜居性问题。该项目期望产生关于公平的热适应实践的新知识。它通过利用参与性行动研究和过渡设计的创新结合，与不同文化背景的社会住房居民合作来做到这一点。该项目的预期成果包括现在可以实施的实用、低成本的降温战略，以及为更炎热的城市未来规划提供更多社会投入。这应该会带来巨大的好处，例如增强公民能力，以产生全社会的气候准备。

This project aims to address liveability in rapidly warming cities by focusing on the role that social practice plays in complementing technical and infrastructural cooling solutions. This project expects to generate new knowledge about equitable heat adaptive practices. It does so by working with culturally diverse social housing residents using an innovative blend of participatory action research and transition design. Expected outcomes of this project include practical, low-cost cooling strategies that can be implemented now, along with increased social input into planning for the hotter urban future. This should provide significant benefits, such as enhanced civic capacity to generate society-wide climate readiness.
