Europe’s cities are facing a growing challenge at the intersection of climate change and demographic change. Heatwaves are becoming more frequent, while an ageing population means more people are exposed to heat-related risks. Protecting vulnerable communities will require more than emergency response — it calls for long-term planning, smarter use of data and urban environments designed with resilience in mind. Across Europe, cities are already taking action through heat mapping, vulnerability assessments and targeted adaptation measures that help identify where interventions can make the biggest difference. At Sweco, we support cities and municipalities in understanding local conditions and translating insights into practical solutions that strengthen resilience and improve quality of life.
