“Extreme Heat Challenges and Cities,” with Rajashree Kotharkar, hosted by CURA [Center for Urban and Regional Analysis] at The Ohio State University

Friday, February 2, 12noon-1pm, this on-line event requires advance registration

Cities play a crucial role in addressing extreme heat as they are both part of the problem and part of the solution. Since over 50% of the global population resides in urban agglomerations, addressing the extreme heat challenges is of paramount importance for well-being and the overall sustainability of urban environments.

This lecture will revolve around three key components:
