Paris, an open-air oven
According to a study analyzing 854 cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants, the French capital is the one with the highest excess mortality linked to heat, even though cities like Nicosia, Lisbon or Athens are hit by even higher temperatures but mortality is lower there. In question, the ICU or “urban heat island”corresponding to heat domes observed in cities and which incriminate factors such as human activity (industries, road density, etc.), the very design of the city (building density, road coverage, etc.) as well as so-called “anthropogenic” sources of heat emission (air conditioning, public lighting, etc.).
With the density of its buildings blocking air circulation and absorbing heat to release it at night in the form of infrared, the concreteization, asphalting and the lack of green space, the dark and poorly ventilated zinc roofs, It is an understatement to say that Paris was not designed to cope with extreme heat.
