Soaring temperatures and dangerous heatwaves have become the uncomfortable reality in communities across the United States due to climate change and patterns of urban development.

Join Mithun partner Erin Christen Ishizaki for “Beating the Heat—How Developers and Cities Are Mitigating Heat Island Impacts” to explore new research from the Institute’s Urban Resilience program. Learn about how and where extreme heat will be a risk in the United States, and how building design and land use policy can address this important issue. Hear about strategies members are developing to address heat, and take home the new report from ULI on this topic.
