Arizona and its cities have been working on ways to help residents deal with the heat for years, but a new report points out those heat mitigation efforts, and concerns about urban heat islands are no longer confined to the Southwest.
“ Scorched,” put out by the Urban Land Institute, says rising temps and dangerous heat waves are now reality across the country.
Ladd Keith was a reviewer on the report. He’s an assistant professor in planning at the University of Arizona, and he joined The Show to talk about this growing issue.
