Hanoi’s air pollution crisis demands action in emission regulation, waste management and climate mitigation.
Urban heat is a public health emergency, an infrastructure challenge and a climate crisis rolled into one. To safeguard cities and their most vulnerable populations, India needs city-level cost-effective long-term mitigation strategies.
In India, current frameworks for defining urban areas relies on the subjectivity of bureaucracy and archaic metrics such as the distribution of the male workforce. A more accurate definition will enable better targeting of resources.
