Heat Risk Moves the Gentrification Map Outward
Barcelona researchers opened a census-tract index across 36 municipalities and found high vulnerability in the metropolitan periphery.
Summary
Barcelona researchers opened a census-tract index across 36 municipalities and found high vulnerability in the metropolitan periphery.
The tool combines heat exposure, green space, housing, building age, public facilities, and social vulnerability. It identifies places that may become more attractive as central neighborhoods heat up; it forecasts vulnerability, not inevitable displacement.
