Climate Change Built Environment and Urbanization
Quantifying intra-urban socio-economic and environmental vulnerability to extreme heat events in Johannesburg, South Africa. International Journal of Biometeorology.
Urban populations face increasing vulnerability to extreme heat events, particularly in rapidly urbanising Global South cities where environmental exposure intersects with socioeconomic inequality and limited healthcare access. This study quantifies heat vulnerability across Johannesburg, South Africa, by integrating high-resolution environmental data with socio-economic and health metrics across 135 urban wards.
