As cities grow, the relationship between air pollution, local climate changes, and urban density becomes increasingly complex. Declining air quality and increasing thermal stress directly affect the lives of city dwellers. So, how can we better integrate air pollution and local climate dynamics into urban planning? The session, which will revolve around these topics, will cover a range of subjects, from the effects of urban fabric on air pollution and local climate to the relationship between land use and urban density with air pollutants, the environmental consequences of the urban heat island effect, and scientific findings on mitigating this impact.
Date: April 8, 2025, Tuesday, 14:00-15:00
