Abstract Escalating impacts from climate change and urban heat are increasing the urgency for communities to equitably plan resilience. Cities in desert Southwest among hottest fastest warming U.S., placing them on front lines of planning. Urban resilience requires an integrated planning approach that coordinates strategies across network plans shape built environment risk patterns. To date, few studies have assessed cities’ progress This research is first combine two emerging evaluation approaches examine how networks through case Tempe Tucson, Arizona. The methodology, Plan Quality Evaluation Heat Resilience, adapts existing quality assessment heat. We assess whether meet 56 criteria seven principles high-quality types included plans. second Integration Resilience Scorecard™ (PIRS™) Heat, focuses policies could influence hazards. categorize by policy tool mitigation strategy score based their impact. Scored then mapped evaluate spatial distribution net effect network. resulting PIRS™ scorecard compared with vulnerability indicators alignment risks. find both cities proactively using similar types, however, there clear consistent opportunities improvement. Combining these complementary methods provides a more comprehensive understanding address generalizable everywhere use identify improved
