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.  aGeneral science interest (e.g. IoP members) or those wishing to gain a broader understanding of urban resilience e.g. Architects, engineers and city planners.  aAlso available in print.  aMode of access: World Wide Web.  aSystem requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.  aTristan Kershaw is currently an Associate Professor in Climate Resilience at the University of Bath. Tristan graduated from the University of Exeter in 2004 with a Master's degree in Physics and went on to study for a PhD in low temperature solid state physics. After completing his PhD, he joined the Centre for Energy and the Environment also at the University of Exeter as a research fellow in climate change adaptation working on a variety of 'building physics' related research and consultancy projects, including the creation of probabilistic future weather years for the thermal modelling of buildings and the simulation and design adaptation of several exemplar buildings across the southwest region. Since 2014, Tristan has worked at the University of Bath in the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering, teaching both undergraduate and postgraduate, engineers and architects on the topics of building physics, sustainability, climate change and the dynamic modelling of building designs.  aTitle from PDF title page (viewed on December 13, 2024).  aUrban ecology (Sociology)993431  aCity planningxClimatic factors.996963 7aUrban & municipal planning.2bicssc957468 7aSCIENCE / Global Warming & Climate Change.2bisacsh9583022 aInstitute of Physics (Great Britain),epublisher.917702 8iPrint version:z9780750352604z9780750352635 0aIOP (Series).pRelease 24.996964  aIOP ebooks.p2024 collection.9969654 uhttps://iopscience.iop.org/book/mono/978-0-7503-5262-8  cE-Books  c68472d68472
