What is The Future for Cities?

• 322I_Mat Santamouris, Scientia Professor at the University of New South Whales

  "The whole interaction between the developing and developed cities and countries are really dynamic."Are you interested in the difference between cities in the developing and developed countries? What do you think about solutions for the right problems? How can we find the root causes? Interview with Mat Santamouris, Scientia Professor at the University of New South Whales. We will talk about his vision for the future of cities, developed and developing countries, finding the root causes, migration, climate change, and many more. Prof. Mat Santamouris is a global leader in energy and building physics, specialising in sustainable architecture and urban heat island mitigation. He holds the Anita Lawrence Chair in High Performance Architecture at UNSW, Australia. With over 15 books and 450 scientific publications, his research advances energy efficiency, renewable energy, and smart building materials. He has led international projects shaping policy and building standards worldwide. As an advisor to governments and global organisations, he influences energy policy and climate strategies. Recognised with multiple awards, his work enhances urban resilience and sustainability in response to climate change.Find out more about Mat through these links:Mat Santamouris on LinkedInMat Santamouris on Google ScholarMat Santamouris at UNSWConnecting episodes you might be interested in:No.244 - Interview with Joe Glesta about urban heat island resilienceNo.246 - Interview with Boyd Cohen about the experience of living in a developing countryNo.256 - Interview with Marcus Foth about scientific solutions already existingNo.321R - Synergies and exacerbations— effects of warmer weather and climate changeWhat was the most interesting part for you?

• 321R_Synergies and exacerbations – effects of warmer weather and climate change (research summary)

  Are you interested in the effects of urban heat islands? Summary of the book chapter titled Synergies and exacerbations – effects of warmer weather and climate change from 2023, by Hassan Saeed Khan, Riccardo Paolini, and Matthaios Santamouris, as part of the Urban Climate Change and Heat Islands book, published by Elsevier.This is a great preparation to our next interview with Mat Santamouris in episode 322 talking about the urban heat island effect, its causes and potential solutions. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see the complex interplay between urban overheating, heatwaves and weather conditions. This chapter aims to understand the synergies between these phenomena and their implications for urban communities.Find the chapter through this link.Connecting episodes you might be interested in: No.243R - Integrative approaches to urban resilience No.244 - Interview with Joe Glesta about urban heat islandsYou can find the transcript through ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠th⁠i⁠s link⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.What was the most interesting part for you?
