Forecast for Hotter Cities

With extreme heat the leading cause of weather-related deaths, rising temperatures are a new public health crisis, effecting especially the most vulnerable groups in society. How can we ensure the long-term comfort and livability of communities — and safeguard against related climate disasters such as wildfires and droughts?

In this panel, speakers Dorsa Jalalian; Marta Segura, Chief Heat Officer and Director, City of Los Angeles; and Rasmus Astrup, Partner and Design Principal, SLA, are working at the forefront of urban heat mitigation in planning, design, and landscape. They will share their insights and experiences from their urban cool-down efforts and what they are planning for next.
