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冷却解决方案中的作用，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热适应性实践的新知识。它通过创新的参与式行动研究和过渡设计与文化多样化的社会住房居民合作来实现这一目标。该项目的预期成果包括现在可以实施的实用、低成本的冷却策略，以及为未来更热的城市规划增加社会投入。这将带来显著的好处，例如增强公民能力，使全社会做好应对气候变化的准备。

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.
