"The tour - Building a Collective Story of North Brooklyn Heat Experience - is co-organized by ASLA New York, North Brooklyn Parks Alliance, Pratt Institute Sustainable Environmental Systems program, Pratt Institute Center for Community Development, and KOMPAN. The walking tour is on Friday, September 26 from noon to 2pm EST at McGolrick Park in Greenpoint, Broolyn. The tour is free for ASLA members and $10 for non-members."
"We'll explore how city features-from pavement materials to wall colors-shape micro-climates on a single block. Participants will measure heat perceptions, learn thermal comfort assessment techniques, and reflect on designing a habitable city for human and non-human residents. We'll also consider how McGolrick Park's tree canopy supports community well-being now and in the future. And explore more events co-organized by ASLA NY during Climate Week NYC, including the free, immersive workshop - Combating Coastal Flooding Through Green & Hybrid Infrastructure."
NYC summers are getting hotter, increasing the need for livable urban design. ASLA New York and partner organizations organized a walking tour called Building a Collective Story of North Brooklyn Heat Experience to map urban heat in Brooklyn during Climate Week NYC. The tour takes place Friday, September 26 from noon to 2pm EST at McGolrick Park in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, and is free for ASLA members ($10 for non-members). Participants will measure heat perceptions, learn thermal comfort assessment techniques, examine how materials and wall colors shape microclimates, and consider McGolrick Park's tree canopy and community well-being.
