Urban land patterns can moderate population exposures to climate extremes over the 21st century

J. Gao and M. S. Bukovsky

This study by Jing Gao and Melissa S. Bukovsky explores the impacts of climate change and urbanization on population exposure to extreme weather in the U.S. Surprisingly, specific urban land patterns can mitigate exposure to heat extremes, opening avenues for enhancing climate resilience in land-use planning.
