On November 12, CPO’s Hunter Jones joined more than 30 urban climatologists, architects, planners, and emergency management & public health practitioners to address an estimated 200 audience members, in New York City for the symposium: “Extreme Heat: Hot Cities – Adapting to a Hotter World”.
The meeting was developed by the Design for Risk and Reconstruction Committee (DfRR) of the American Institute of Architects New York Chapter (AIANY). The meeting was all about increasing resilience to extreme heat, sharing knowledge with stakeholders in a multidisciplinary setting, and learning about their needs.
