Abstract
Today, around half of the world’s population resides in cities. This proportion is projected to increase significantly, with the urban population anticipated to more than double by 2050 – nearly 70% of the world’s population is expected to be living in cities! Climate change significantly challenges urban livability, with rising temperatures profoundly affecting thermal comfort for the urban population. Urban areas experience pronounced impacts from climate change such as the Urban Heat Island effect and frequent heat waves. These phenomena exacerbate the existing rising temperatures in cities, making living conditions increasingly severe. Urban populations, particularly the elderly are vulnerable to these extreme heat conditions, a situation expected to deteriorate further in the future.
This critical concern underscores the urgent need for cities to enhance their climate adaptation strategies to protect their residents’ health and well–being
