In 2005, prof Tim Oke published his paper titled “Towards better scientific communication in urban climate”. He lamented the lack of exchanges of what we, urban climatologists, knows, and what has been done in reality for the benefits of urban dwellers. Bluntly speaking, why policy makers, stakeholders, planners and architects continue to ignore what we have been telling them?
As an architect myself, having participated in various city planning, urban and building projects, let me tell you why!
Furthermore, I would like to use this lecture to share with you a few of my, and my team’s, up and down stories of us attempting to be otherwise when we try to agree with Prof Sue Grimmond’s: “the need to go from generating urban climate knowledge to playing a key role in creating urban climates.”
