Issue 2: Scorching

Description

This issue is about Scorching: what happens when things get out of hand, it’s hot out, and the heat doesn’t go away? How are we responding to this slowly rising catastrophe? We speak to a range of people who are working to make our neighborhoods more resilient through creating a network of practitioners, testing outran design, supporting trees, and engaging with residents.
