The SCOPE is a podcast exploring climate change as a force on, and result of, the built environment. Our first guests are Nels Nelson, a Senior Urban Planner at Stantec’s Urban Places, and Memo  Cedeño from Harvard’s School of Public Health. We discuss the urban heat island effect, how to avoid spending public money where its least needed but most noisily called for, proving common sense, quantifying health outcomes, and acting like your house is on fire.
