题名：	GRAA winner profile: urban cooling and active transportation in Los Angeles
正文语种：	eng
摘要：	The Urban Cooling + First/ Last Mile Strategies in Los Artgeles-Canoga Park Project explores resilient streetscape solutions that mitigate two critical planning issues impacting LA: extreme heat ("Urban Cooling") and limited safe active transportation access ("First/Last Mile"). Within the next 20-30 years, climate scientists predict that the average temperature in LA will rise by 4-5℉, with the occurrence of extreme heat days (when temperatures exceed 95℉) dramatically increasing in LA's San Fernando Valley (the Project's location) to 92 days/year. In addition, historically car-centric planning in LA has contributed to the city's average rate of children and older adults who die while walking to be double the national rate. Although LA is experiencing increased investment in public transit and active transportation projects, these projects often lack the essential urban cooling and green infrastructure elements that encourage residents to safely and comfortably walk and cycle.
