Outdoor Thermal Comfort of Older People in Vulnerable Urban Areas in a Warming World
Amid growing concerns over global warming, ensuring the outdoor thermal comfort (OTC) of public urban spaces is crucial for creating liveable and resilient cities. This study focused on the intensification of the urban heat island (UHI) effect and the heat stress experienced by the vulnerable older population. Evidence was found through the case study in a highly vulnerable area of Porto, with a high ageing ratio. The primary aim was to assess th…
Participatory Methods to Support Climate Adaptation for Older Adults Living in Vulnerable Urban Areas
Urban environments and climate-related challenges impact older adults' health and well-being. To address these challenges, climate adaptation strategies and urban design guidelines should be tailored to older adults' needs.
