Over the past decade research on urban thermal inequity has grown, with a focus denser built environments. In this letter we examine associated climate change impacts and changes to form in comparatively socio-economically disadvantaged Australian suburb. Local densification policies designed counteract sprawl have reduced block sizes, increased height limits, diminished tree canopy cover (UTC). Little attention been given combined effects of lower UTC heat residents. Such include rising...

AbstractRhetoric can facilitate movement beyond impasse on whether and how to confront climate change, enabling more effective public reasoning.
