TLDR
In this article, the authors proposed mitigation and adaptation strategies in cities' climate risk management plans may produce health co-benefits by reducing emissions and cooling temperatures through changes in the built environment, however, to implement the plans and the most widely documented beneficial policy to date is the adoption of heat warning and air quality alert systems to trigger emergency responses.About:

Subjectivity in a context of environmental change: opening new dialogues in mental health research
TL;DR: In this article, a re-positioning of subjectivity within an appreciation of recognition conflicts and beyond the over-deterministic interpretations of power centres is proposed to explain the emergent and co-evolutionary pathways of agency.

An Energy-Efficient IoT Group-Based Architecture for Smart Cities
TL;DR: This chapter proposes the use of data aggrupation in each antenna in order to reduce the amount of generated traffic in the 5th Generation (5G) network and thus the energy consumption.

Urban Growth and Heat in Tropical Climates
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the change in temperatures across approximately 270 tropical cities from 1960 to 2020 with a focus on urban warming and associate urban growth indicators with temperature variations in tropical climate zones (tropical rainforest, tropical monsoon and tropical wet-dry savanna).
