Overview
Nature-based solutions can reduce heat exposure while contributing to comfort, stormwater management, biodiversity, and public space. This published chapter examines strategies across urban and building scales and connects physical interventions with human-health outcomes. It also addresses implementation constraints and the importance of equitable access: the benefits of trees, green corridors, roofs, and landscape systems depend on where they are located, how they are maintained, and who can use them. Published by Springer in 2026, the chapter is available at DOI 10.1007/978-3-031-95292-0_13.
