N2  - Climate Change Resilience in the Urban Environment provides a detailed overview of the risks of climate change for urban areas including those risks to human health. Of particular focus is the urban microclimate and how this can be modified to make cities more efficient, more comfortable, and healthier places to live and potentially offset climate change. This second edition provides fresh perspective to the material in the first edition, and includes additional material on green and blue infrastructure in urban areas, the influence of urban geometry on comfort, heat islands and energy usage
