Climate change increases the magnitude and frequency of extreme weather events worldwide; therefore, cities are highly vulnerable areas as housing majority global population. This study aims to analyze heatwave vulnerability 23 districts Hungarian capital, Budapest, by applying a weighted indicator method. For this purpose, 12 indicators were collected, normalized, finally categorized reveal spatial heterogeneity through selected administration units. Socio-economic variables remote sensing data have also been involved in order point out many aspects possible. Generally, downtown medium due their increased land surface temperature, higher population density low yearly income per capita. In case both Pest-, Buda-side outer districts, NDVI values pose them at top ranking. At same time, considerable differences can be found regarding other sensitivity adaptive capacity values. The high ratio elderly people with cardiovascular disease number pharmacies 1000 identified common weak points almost every district. revealed may contribute defining those where urgent targeted adaptation actions needed.

Cities have special importance and the potential to serve as places for social, economic, ecological transition experiments. They create organisations networks collectively address various sustainability challenges. One of broad transformational ideas that can guide a far-reaching key challenges is degrowth. We postulate new narrative ‘urban degrowth economics’ necessary operationalise on larger scale. Analysing strategies policies cities represent selected or phenomena through lens such demonstrate which current approaches urban development are closest values. By juxtaposing proposals with main themes analysed in economics, we propose criteria economics. then apply these assess case study following phenomena: C40 (Copenhagen), Transition Towns (Totnes), doughnut economics (Amsterdam), shrinking (Detroit).

Climate change will have adverse impacts on human health, which are amplified in cities. For these impacts, there direct, indirect, and deferred pathways. The first category is well-studied, while indirect not well-understood. Moreover, the factors moderating received little attention, although understanding critical for adaptation. We developed a conceptual framework that shows pathways of climate focusing specifically urban environment emergence severity health impacts. Based literature review, we illustrate mechanisms impact occurrence exacerbate or alleviate thus presenting valuable insights anticipatory conclude an integrated systemic approach to preventing risks from can provide co-benefits adaptation address multiple risks.

Abstract In our study, we are evaluating the dynamic interplay between circular cities and economy, revealing connections shaped by new research insights, using Web of Science database. We have in depth analysed 671 publications from 1990 to mid‐2023, employing Leximancer VOSviewer tools. Our analysis uncovered key themes, including buildings, waste management, value chains, sustainable development, linking concept economy framework. Emerging trends, such as urban metabolism, mining, governance models, built environment, sustainability benchmarks, chain signify deliberate shifts towards higher development implementation. These trajectories harmonise with overarching goals. Contemporary emphasises indicators, adaptive resource reuse, structure regeneration. This focus facilitates transitioning linear models heightened circularity within contexts. Research inclination is shifting traditional economic environmental concerns holistic configurations that prioritise social integration, communal well‐being, dynamics economy. Through this analytical expedition, offer novel insights enhance understanding intricate symbiosis findings provide a scientific foundation for formulating targeted strategies decision‐makers guiding landscapes transformative aligned objectives cities.

Improving urban walkability in the face of climate change is a critical challenge for designers. Street design strategies can mitigate heat stress and enhance pedestrian livability. Most previous studies conducted hot climates recommend adopting deep canyons to improve summer conditions, overlooking potential improvement wide streets as essential structural elements fabric. This study was Biskra city, southern Algeria, where several mitigation were applied ‘Emir Abdelkader Boulevard’, main street inside create an optimal model arid climates. Five scenarios developed based on three criteria: (Sc1) asymmetric profile northeast side (NES) > southwest (SWS); (Sc2) SWS NES; (Sc3) cool paving; (Sc4) horizontal shading; and(Sc5) shading with linear tree arrangement. ENVI-met software version 5.1.1 RayMan used estimate local conditions outdoor thermal comfort levels physiological equivalent temperature (PET). All reduced PET values across street, reductions −2.0 °C, −3.1 −1.3 −1.7 −1.2 °C Sc1, Sc2, Sc3, Sc4, Sc5, respectively. Concerning areas, results durations at below arcades’ sidewalks during peak hours: Sc5 (2.2 °C–3 H, 2.3 2.4 2.5 °C–2 H). Sc1 performed best daytime hours side. The utilizing these strongly help planners landscape architects creating climate-responsive that citizens’ quality life.
