Summary: Hatte die Architektur des 20. Jahrhunderts die Kontrolle des Gebäudeklima zur Hauptaufgabe erklärt, so muss die Architektur im 21. Jahrhundert den Umgang mit dem Stadtklima lernen. Städtische Hitze und Luftverschmutzung gilt es in die Planung und Gestaltung einzubeziehen. Basierend auf empirischen Erkenntnissen aus Kairo, Chongqing, Genf und Santiago de Chile verdeutlicht das Buch, dass Materialität und soziale Praktiken, verknüpft mit Raumbeheizung, Siedlungsbegrünung, Straßenausrichtung oder Klimapolitik, das Gewebe zeitgenössischer Stadtklimata bilden. Die Publikation verbindet soziokulturelle und meteorologische Daten. Sie plädiert für eine neue Art der "Thermal Governance", die die Wechselwirkung von klimatischen und sozioökonomischen Phänomenen in zeitgenössischen Städten berücksichtigt.Summary: While 20th century architecture learned to control the climate of a building, the architecture of the 21st century needs to learn to cope with the climate of cities. Problems such as urban heat and air pollution need to be included in planning and design. Based on empirical realities in Cairo, Chongqing, Geneva and Santiago de Chile, the book underlines that the materiality and social practices attached to room heating, compound greening, street alignment or climate policies together form the tissue for contemporary urban climates. It interweaves socio-cultural with meteorological data and pioneers the new concept of "thermal governance" by linking architectural and technological as well as legal and economic dimensions of climate control in urban environments.
