Anticipatory Action and Future Urban Living in a Context of Increasing Temperatures
Application of operative temperature to characterize daytime thermal comfort in urban areas during a heatwave
Given the impact of extreme temperatures on health, particularly in urban areas, the assessment of thermal comfort has become a central topic in the scientific community since the 20th century. Among the various indices developed for this purpose, this study aims to spatially analyze the thermal comfort of the urban areas of Grenoble and Toulouse (France) using the Operative temperature (Ot). The analysis covers the period from August 11 to Augus…
Statistical Reliability of the Modified Areal Weighted by Control Zones Method to Spatially Downscale Individual Social Data
This study evaluates the modified areal weighting by control zones method (MAW-CZ) often involved in downscaling social data from a large spatial mesh, to a smaller mesh. This method has been extensively used in literature but the impossibil-ity, until recently, of accessing individual data makes it so that it has not been evaluated. In this study it is applied to two case studies, Toulouse and Grenoble-Alpes Metropoles, using the census INSEE da…
Exploring Urban Climate Mapping
Effective adaptation planning necessitates a stronger integration of climate science with urban planning, supported by tools that facilitate localized climate assessments. Climate mapping plays a crucial role in bridging this gap by providing insights into microclimatic conditions and informing urban interventions. For instance, Toulouse Metropole employs heat island intensity maps generated through TempMap, a GIS plugin (Touati et al., 2020) des…
Climate, Cities and Societies
The urban climatology community has been structured internationally at different levels for several years with venues such as ICUC, AGU, EGU or IC2UHI which regularly bring together different members of academia addressing urban climate-related research and engineering challenges from different disciplines, countries and perspectives. Late 2018, a series of meetings of the French community were launched. Two in-person meetings occurring in Paris,…
Anticipatory action and future urban living in a context of increasing temperatures
In recent years, the world has undergone a significant transformation, from a realm of certainties to one filled with uncertainties and looming disasters. These catastrophes, which are both ecological and social, are largely attributed to the climate crisis caused by human activities. As a result, the future of cities and the planet is at stake, with the prospect of becoming uninhabitable. To address this urgent issue, local governments worldwide…
Comparison and theoretical conceptualization analysis of statistical methods used to develop heat vulnerability indices in urban areas
In view of the impact of extreme temperatures on physical and psychological health, particularly in urban areas, several studies have focused on assessing social vulnerability using quantitative indexing approaches with the aim of creating a heat vulnerability index (HVI). In this context, this study employs three statistical methodologies frequently used to construct HVIs on the territory of the Toulouse Métropole, France, at the census block (I…
Mining the Web of Science for African cities and climate change (1991–2021)
This study provides a synthetic overview of thirty years of research devoted to urban climate change in Africa. Which cities in Africa are being researched on the impacts of climate change affecting them? What are the main social and urban issues and how are they linked? Is the development of climate services envisaged for these cities? Related to which local issues? Some answers are drawn by text mining the metadata of more than a thousand artic…
Mapping the urban climate to address summer comfort management in French urban planning documents
In France, the integration of climate and energy issues in the spatial planning tools of local authorities is compulsory for cities with more than 20000 inhabitants. Through the example of Toulouse Metropole, the interdisciplinary work here presented make use of the available geographic and climatic data to perform spatial microclimatic diagnostics and its translation into recommendations to address thermal summer comfort. Analysis maps and strat…
Tool adjustments to support climate adaptation in urban planning for southern cities
Les études sur le microclimat urbain peuvent être d’utiles appuis à la gestion des crises liées aux canicules et à la planification urbaine respectueuse du climat. Cet article examine l’adaptabilité du dispositif de cartes climatiques urbaines, développées au Nord, aux contextes des villes du Sud où la pénurie de données urbaines et climatiques rend difficile toute démarche d’analyse spatiale. Il repose sur une base de données architecturales, mo…
Proposals for the use of graphical models in urban climatic maps
We suggest applying the chorematic methodology to the processes and issues addressed by the urban climatic mapping framework, i.e., the interdisciplinary discussion and analysis of thematic data, the production of analytic maps, and the creation of recommendation maps to advise urban planners. After introducing the method, its theoretical basis, and its process, we discuss its fitness and present the possibility of its application in this themati…
Potential of Synthetizing Climatopes and Local Climate Zones for Urban Climatic Planning Recommendations
The urban climatic map (UCMap) is an urban climate information tool for planning purpose commonly used in German-speaking countries while local climate zone (LCZ) scheme is developed to link the characteristics urban climate and urban morphology at the city level world widely. These two frameworks differ with each other on the aspect of data sources, classification standards, and planning implementation. This study explores the potential of integ…
Co-construction of climate services based on a weather stations network
Cette thèse fournit une description du développement des services climatiques au sein de Toulouse Métropole, en France. Ils sont articulés autour d'un réseau de stations météorologiques pour les études de micro-climatologie, en particulier l'analyse de la température de l'air et de l'îlot de chaleur urbain. Le premier axe s'emploie à décomposer les services climatiques à base de réseaux d'observations en objets distincts rattachés à des champs di…
Urban Climates and Climate Change
Cities are particularly vulnerable to extreme weather episodes, which are expected to increase with climate change. Cities also influence their own local climate, for example, through the relative warming known as the urban heat island (UHI) effect. This review discusses urban climate features (even in complex terrain) and processes. We then present state-of-the-art methodologies on the generalization of a common urban neighborhood classification…
Influence of the urban morphology on the urban heat island intensity
This article presents the development and application to a set of French urban agglomerations of a method for Local Climate Zones (LCZ) attribution using the open-source language R. The LCZs classify the urban fabric at high spatial scale (such as a block of houses) according to its morphological characteristicsand land use. The LCZ classification is carried out for 42 urban agglomerations and is then related to urban heat island intensity (UHII)…
Perspectives on the Role of Patient-Centered Medical Homes in HIV Care
To strengthen the quality of HIV care and achieve improved clinical outcomes, payers, providers, and policymakers should encourage the use of patient-centered medical homes (PCMHs), building on the Ryan White CARE Act Program established in the 1990s. The rationale for a PCMH with HIV-specific expertise is rooted in clinical complexity, HIV’s social context, and ongoing gaps in HIV care. Existing Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program clinicians are prime c…
HIV Testing Behaviors of a Cohort of HIV-Positive Racial/Ethnic Minority YMSM
House/ball culture and adolescent African-American transgender persons and men who have sex with men
Transgender persons and young men of color who have sex with men (YMSM of color) have been severely affected by HIV in the USA. Houses and balls in the USA have historically been a primary meeting ground for YMSM of color and transgender people, offering an opportunity for HIV prevention activities. Houses provide a familial structure for YMSM of color and transgender people, while balls provide them with events at which they can congregate for s…
The Severity Classification System for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome Hospitalizations Association with Survival After Discharge and Inpatient Resource Use
The Severity Classification for AIDS Hospitalizations (SCAH) was applied to a longitudinal person-based data set of Maryland adult residents diagnosed with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) between 1983 and 1989 to predict long-term survival. In contrast to other AIDS severity measures, SCAH can be applied to administrative data bases for analyses of large populations. Although SCAH was created to predict inpatient mortality using cross-s…
