"NYC summers are getting hotter, making it vital to design livable cities for all. The ASLA New York Chapter has organized a walking tour of how to map urban heat in Brooklyn for Climate Week NYC, one of the world's largest climate gatherings. The tour Building a Collective Story of North Brooklyn Heat Experience is co-organized by ASLA New York, North Brooklyn Parks Alliance, Pratt Institute Sustainable Environmental Systems program, Pratt Institute Center for Community Development, and KOMPAN."
"The walking tour is on Friday, September 26 from noon to 2pm EST at McGolrick Park in Greenpoint, Broolyn. The tour is free for ASLA members and $10 for non-members. We'll explore how city featuresfrom pavement materials to wall colorsshape micro-climates on a single block. Participants will measure heat perceptions, learn thermal comfort assessment techniques, and reflect on designing a habitable city for human and non-human residents. We'll also consider how McGolrick Park's tree canopy supports community well-being now and in the future."
