Raising urban climate awareness by sensing microclimates on an urban trail

Do you wonder why the city feels so unbearably hot in the summer? Join us on a microclimate discovery! We will guide participants’ exploration on how microclimate is shaped by the diverse urban landscape and natural elements. Through measuring these nuances and experiencing their impact on our senses, we will consider the significance of urban design to ensure comfort for both human and non-human inhabitants of our cities. The walk will start near Pratt Campus and will end with a reflection at the Naval Cemetery Landscape.
