As we face hotter summers and more frequent heatwaves, we need more than awareness – we need action.
Beat the Heat is a co-creation workshop bringing together residents, researchers, local organisations and decision-makers to shape responses to the health and environmental impacts of rising heat in the Southampton area.
This is your invitation to help design a city that works for everyone—even in extreme temperatures.
Together, we’ll explore:
– Who is most affected by heat stress?
– Where are the hotspots in the Southampton area?
– How can we adapt our streets, buildings, green spaces and infrastructure for health and wellbeing?
– What support and communications will keep people informed and safe?
– How can we create inclusive solutions that involve community voices—especially young people and those most impacted?
This event aims to shape the foundations of a project that will have real impact of life in the Southampton area in a warming world.
Join us to help beat the heat in the Southampton area.
