In the United States and many other industrialized nations, high-temperature-related events account for a larger proportion than all other natural events combined, and cities are the most severely affected areas. Urban areas are particularly vulnerable to temperature increases due to the high density of tall buildings, along with a lack of green spaces and water sources.<\/p>\n
\ud83d\udd38 As a result, cities can be significantly hotter than suburban and rural areas at the same time, impacting public health and increasing energy consumption.<\/p>\n
