Scorched: Extreme Heat and Real Estate in Asia Pacific
ULI's 2019 review Scorched: Extreme Heat and Real Estate outlines how real estate and land use practitioners can mitigate the effects of extreme heat on people and infrastructure with thoughtful design and consideration of temperature-related risks. Through 'extreme heat resilience', developers can realize the business benefits of early resilience leadership and contribute to the long-term success and liveability of communities. Implementing heat-mitigation features that reduce temperatures day-to-day also increases resilience by helping prevent infrastructure failures and safeguarding lives during extreme and co-occurring events.
Real estate sector investment in extreme heat management could be especially meaningful in Asia Pacific markets where climates are historically hot and changing rapidly; megacities amplify urban heat dynamics; and a significant number of people are vulnerable to heat-related impacts.
