Extreme heat is becoming one of the deadliest and most complex climate threats—and planners must adapt. But what if we approached heat hazard mitigation not just with data and infrastructure, but also with art, storytelling, and technology? Join the APA Arts and Planning Division, APA Technology Division, and the Hazard Mitigation and Disaster Recovery Planning Division for a solutions-focused conversation exploring how exploring how a multidisciplinary approach using creative and technological tools is key in reshaping the way planners can reshape the way planners understand, communicate, and respond to extreme heat.CM 1.5
