Table 2 Heat-wave-related propositions
From: Urban heatwaves reverse vulnerability-resilience relationships throughout the day
Theme | Proposition |
|---|---|
Time | (P2) Coping capacity temporarily plays a role as a ‘buffer’ against heat exposure, but its erosion over time leads to declining resilience even when temperatures decrease. |
Urban social fabric | (P4) Heatwaves amplify existing vulnerabilities and social inequalities between different urban districts. |
Space | (P6) Driven by citizen adaptive behaviour, districts with green and blue areas become the hotspots of low resilience during a heatwave. |
