Description

Toronto is adapting to climate change with new Thermal Comfort Guidelines, developed after a city-wide study by DIALOG and Buro Happold. With the number of days exceeding 30 C projected to rise from 10 to 55 annually by 2080, we're examining how the city is reimagining public spaces to stay livable throughout the year. Field reporter Jeyan Jeganathan dives into what makes us feel comfortable outdoors-examining the role of wind, humidity, sun, and shade-and how better design can create more resilient, equitable cities.
