Cities globally are increasingly affected by heatwaves, and many municipalities are seeking solutions to protect vulnerable groups. Barcelona has over 360 climate shelters in public spaces such as schools, libraries, and parks, providing protection during high temperatures.
But do high-risk groups have adequate access to shelters during heat-waves? In this episode of the ISCN Global Mixer, Serena Mombelli and Patricio Reyes will answer this question and show how data-driven analysis can support human-centred urban planning and policy-making.
The analysis is the result of a collaboration between Barcelona City Council and vCity, platform for urban digital twins that facilitates informed decision making in urban development.
