Extreme heat is the deadliest of climate hazards, compromising health, quality of life, and accessibility for disabled and older adult populations. Hear from ASLA Climate & Biodiversity Fellow Keenan Gibbons, ASLA, on his research that is revolutionizing a new approach to measuring heat at the experiential scale. Learn from Deanna Lynn, ASLA, of Wild Land Workshop and Bill Updike of Smart Surfaces Coalition on how to use the lens of mobility justice to make communities more resilient to heat impacts, taking away site-scale strategies and policy and planning solutions.

Designing a city resilient to extreme heat is a critical accessibility intervention. For people with disabilities or health conditions, the stakes are higher. The hotter it is in the community, the more high risk folks cannot go out at all. And if they have to be outside, a shaded path of travel or cooling rest stop can mean the difference between life and death.
