BBC World Service - People Fixing The World, Fighting the heat

Meet the innovators making our super-heated cities liveable

Meet the innovators making our super-heated cities liveable.

As climate change leads to global temperature rises, cities around the world are being faced with extreme levels of heat. This can bring whole cities to a halt, disrupt key infrastructure, and for the most vulnerable in society heat can be a killer. 

But where there’s a problem, innovation is never far behind. 

We meet the people who are trying to find solutions – from urban designers finding inspiration in ancient technologies to keep cities cool, to social projects offering simple solutions to vulnerable populations.
