How residents in Chicago’s hottest neighborhoods can keep cool during heat waves?

Chicago can feel up to 8 degrees hotter than suburbs and rural areas because there are more buildings and asphalt, and fewer plants to aid the natural process of keeping an area cool. Areas  of the city with the least amount of greenspace and high levels of industry can be even hotter than the city average temperature. So, how do we identify where those hotter areas are and help residents adapt to the extreme heat? In the Loop explores the urban heat island effect and how city residents and officials are helping Chicagoans adapt to high temperatures.  GUESTS: Max Berkelhammer, professor, earth and environmental sciences UIC Lindy Wordlaw, Assistant Commissioner, Department of EnvironmentNedra Sims-Fears, executive director, Greater Chatham Initiative
