Our guest, Professor Victoria Kiechel, discusses the impact of housing on heat morbidity and climate change resilience. We explore the ways building design and historical inequities drive disparities in heat risk across the country, and discuss solutions for climate resilience.

Episode 50: Exploring the Connections Between Housing, Heat Morbidity, and Climate Resilience

The Opportunity Starts at Home podcast takes a deep look at opportunity in America, especially how housing shapes that opportunity.  Of all the factors that affect our ability to thrive, both economically and socially, few are more important than the homes in which we are raised.  Housing predicts the kind of neighborhood you’ll grow up in; the quality of school you’ll attend; and your access to transportation, amenities, resources, job opportunities, and social networks.  Housing is simply fundamental to achieving the American Dream.
