Call for Papers: Cityscape Symposium on Extreme Heat in Cities

In 2025 Cityscape intends to publish several articles in a symposium on how to cool cities or mitigate the impacts of extreme heat, especially its impacts on low- and moderate-income workers and residents and socially vulnerable groups. Papers may be from any discipline but should be intelligible to a multidisciplinary audience. Articles must be original work not published elsewhere.

The symposium is intended to bring together several excellent, in-depth research papers that could be useful to cities and other actors seeking feasible and effective ways to cool down urban neighborhoods or mitigate the impacts of extreme heat.

Submitted papers deemed appropriate for the symposium will be peer reviewed and may need to be revised and resubmitted before a final decision on publication is made. To be considered for the Cityscape symposium on Extreme Heat in Cities, papers must be submitted by April 3, 2024. Submit papers to both of the following email addresses: Elizabeth.C.Rudd@hud.gov and Jagruti.D.Rekhi@hud.gov.

We are also seeking reviewers. If you are interested in being a peer reviewer for this symposium, please let us know and provide a current CV so that we can match you with appropriate papers.
