Beat the Heat: A CBT Original Animation

In this newly produced video by CBT, we look at some of the most dire consequences of a warming planet for urban environments, and illustrate a series of innovative and layered strategies to mitigate the increasing Urban Heat Island effect (UHI). By approaching this threat to human health and urban quality of life through a multifaceted approach, we can thoughtfully improve conditions at all scales. CBT's Urban Design experts are deeply committed to city planning that reduces UHI and creates replicable solutions around the globe.
