Abstract

Cities, the prominent place of human settlements, face various mega challenges. Among them, extreme heat challenge, the combined effect of heat waves and heat islands, is the deadliest disaster (Anderson and Bell in Environmental Health Perspectives 119(2):210–218, 2011; City of Sydney, Adapting for climate change: A long term strategy for the city of Sydney, 2015; De Bono et al., Environment Alert Bulletin, 2:4, 2004). For instance, the extreme heat event in Europe in 2003 killed about 72,000 people (WMO, United Nations News, 2021), and the extreme heat event in June–August 2022 caused more than 53,000 deaths.
