Urban Heat Democratization
Urban Heat Democratization is an open, public-interest platform for understanding urban heat, cooling access, and transparent mitigation scenarios. It helps residents, educators, planners, and researchers inspect evidence, understand its limits, and discuss practical climate-resilience options.
