Shedding light on the future of urban spaces, this path-breaking
book is a significant contribution to contemporary climate change
scholarship. It synthesizes interdisciplinary research with
practical policy, putting an emphasis on positive environmental and
socially just outcomes and urban regeneration. Hot Cities offers
insights from eminent academics and practitioners, providing both a
practical and theoretical outlook on strategy development in a
climate crisis. Chapters call for urgent responses to the urban
heat problem, providing future projections to illustrate why this
is important. They highlight that despite prominent issues within
cities, such as maladaptive practices or unsustainable path
dependency in city policy and planning, urban spaces are likely to
be the safest and most protected locations from the uncompromising
outcomes of global warming. This enlightening book will be
incredibly useful for scholars of human geography, urban planning,
climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction, environmental
humanities, urban design and urban and regional studies. Due to its
broad applicability, it will also benefit design practitioners and
community developers.

This open access book brings together research on the planning,
design, governance and management of schools as community
hubs—places that support the development of better-connected,
more highly integrated, and more resilient communities with
education at the centre. It explores opportunities and difficulties
associated with bringing schools and communities closer together,
with a focus on the facilities needed to accommodate shared
experiences that generate social capital and deliver reciprocal
benefits. This book discusses the expanded roles of schools, and
investigates how schools may offer more to their
communities—historically, currently and into the future—with
respect to the role of the built environment in situating community
activities and services. Organised around four sections, it
showcases important areas of development in the field via an
interdisciplinary approach, which weaves together empirical
research with theoretical insights and practical examples. This
book not only highlights the challenges associated with the
development of schools as community hubs but offers evidence-based
insights into how to overcome such hurdles to develop
community-facing schools into the future.
This open access book examines how digital technologies are used to
promote citizen participation in democratic urban development. It
assesses the emergence, use, applicability and functions of digital
modes of citizen participation in multiple cities around the world,
where political regimes invite ordinary citizens to partake in
policy processes through information technologies. The book also
explores these initiatives alongside issues of democracy, social
justice and power. It is an essential reference for practitioners,
policymakers and academics interested in the relationship between
citizen participation, technology and urban governance.
