“…According to the updated definition, a new approach to ensuring environmental justice using high technologies of industry 4.0, and first of all AI, has been proposed. In contrast to the existing publications (Ali et al, 2016;Anantharajah and Setyowati, 2022;Furlan and Mariano, 2022;He et al, 2022;Islam, 2022), the article proposes to combat climate change based not on social but technological progress. In addition, the article determines the causes of climate change and demonstrates that social factors only indirectly affect them, while technological factors make it possible to eliminate these causes.…”

“…In this regard, the concept of environmental justice has taken shape as equal opportunities for countries to protect the environment (Budolfson et al, 2021;Cappelli et al, 2021;Dagdeviren et al, 2021;Gazzotti et al, 2021;Pérez-Peña et al, 2021;Yang and Tang, 2022). Based on this concept, an approach to ensuring environmental justice through responsible production (corporate social responsibility) and consumption has developed (Ali et al, 2016;Anantharajah and Setyowati, 2022;Furlan and Mariano, 2022;He et al, 2022;Islam, 2022). The problem is that the concept and approach to ensuring environmental justice based on experience do not correspond to the new realities.…”

“…Economic growth relevant to heat includes work productivity, water and electricity use reduction and healthcare cost reduction. Social equity focuses on alleviating heat-induced economic impacts and psychological and psychological illnesses, deaths among different groups [7]. Accordingly, UHA within FMC should cover all spatial areas and population groups for addressing all possible impacts in environmental, economic and social aspects, in order to meet the inclusion goal.…”

Urban heat has challenged many cities with serious environmental, economic, social and health consequences. Urban heat also deteriorates the achievement of 15-Minute City (FMC) which is a basic community unit to apply planning and design practices to achieve safety, sustainability, resilience and inclusion required by the goal of Sustainable Cities and Communities (Goal 11) by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Heat adaptation strategies are of importance to secure people from heat-induced immediate impacts. However, there are limited studies on how to integrate heat adaptation strategies into FMC for avoiding heat-induced impacts. Therefore, this paper aims to construct a framework that can support the integration of urban heat adaptation (UHA) into FMC planning and design. The framework is expected to combine FMC and UHA goals, identify urban heat impacts, recognise heat-induced impact influential factors, suggest heat adaptation strategies and optimise adaptation performance. Following this conception, an analysis of FMC and UHA goals, heat-induced impact and assessment indicators, regulatory factors, heat adaptation strategies, and sensitivity assessment models has been conducted. Finally, a comprehensive FMC-UHA framework for addressing urban heat challenges is generated. Overall, this framework provides a reference for creating cool 15-minute cities, as well as guidance on how to avoid heat impacts, health and safety inclusion, low-carbon travel, and outdoor productivity.

“…The heat resistance capacity varies with demographic characteristics (such as gender, health, and age), where children and older adults are weak in resisting heat stresses (30). Second, people can change their daily functions such as outdoor activities, work/study, transportation, sleep/rest, and diet in types, time, and duration to adapt to heat (31). In particular, laborers and farmers who need to work outdoors can take their breaks in air-conditioned places or cooling centers during extremely hot temperatures (32).…”

Actively addressing urban heat challenges is an urgent task for numerous cities. Existing studies have primarily developed heat mitigation strategies and analyzed their cooling performance, while the adaptation strategies are far from comprehensive to protect citizens from heat-related illnesses and deaths. To address this research gap, this paper aims to enhance people's adaptation capacity by investigating walkability within fifteen-minute cities (FMC). Taking cognizance of thermal comfort, health, and safety, this paper developed a dynamic attenuation model (DAM) of heat stress, along with heat stress aggravation, continuance, and alleviation. An indicator of remaining tolerant heat discomfort (Rt) was proposed with the integration of the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) to assess heat-related walkability. Following an empirical study among 128 residents in Mianyang, China, and assessing four levels of heat stress, the maximum tolerant heat discomfort was determined to be 60 min. Furthermore, the DAM was applied to an FMC with 12 neighborhoods in Fucheng, Mianyang, China. The results indicate that for each neighborhood, the street was generally walkable with an Rt ranging between 15 and 30 min, after walking for 900 m. A population-based FMC walkability was further determined, finding that the core area of the FMC was favorable for walking with an Rtof 45–46 min, and the perpetual areas were also walkable with an Rtof 15–30 min. Based on these results, suggestions on the frequency of public services (frequently used, often used, and occasionally used) planning were presented. Overall, this paper provides a theoretical model for analyzing walkability and outlines meaningful implications for planning heat adaptation in resilient, safe, comfortable, and livable FMCs.
