Climate Lab authors report on importance of trees to cities","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EWhen the legislature began its special session, in mid-July, Gov. Greg Abbott urged legislators to outlaw municipal tree-conservation ordinances, which exist in about 50 Texas cities, including Dallas. He has called the ordinances\u0026mdash;requiring landowners to pay a fee for felling trees or to plant trees as compensation\u0026mdash;\u0026ldquo;socialistic\u0026rdquo; infringements on property owners\u0026rsquo; rights. At the same time, a Dallas-based nonprofit called the Texas Trees Foundation was working to finalize a report on an important study that shows exactly how beneficial trees are to big cities. Titled \u0026ldquo;Dallas Urban Heat Management Study,\u0026rdquo; the report reveals research conducted by the Urban Climate Lab of the \u003Cstrong\u003EGeorgia Institute of Technology\u003C\/strong\u003E. The Texas Trees Foundation touts it as being \u0026ldquo;among the first comprehensive heat management assessments focused on a major U.S. city.\u0026rdquo; The short version: in Dallas, trees save lives.

Wimberley, who is MARTA\u2019s senior regional planner and project manager of the Clifton transit project, encourages public opinion on the plan. \u201cAt this point, no one has all the answers.\u201d She writes. \u201cMARTA is still gathering information and working with supporters and critics of the project. What we know for certain, however, is that this project will be successful only if it has widespread community support.

There\u2019s a heat island effect, really, in every large city.\u201d Stone\u2019s research found that Louisville is warming at the fastest rate of any city in the nation, causing summer temperatures in the urban core to be up to 20 degrees higher than surrounding areas. Louisville is taking this possibility seriously and, in the process, has been more aggressive and comprehensive than any other city in tackling the problem, including securing private grants to fund a $135,000 study of the city\u2019s urban heat island. The analysis, which is scheduled to be done later this year, is the first of its kind in the country, and possibly the world, according to Stone, who is leading the project.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"28044","created_gmt":"2014-12-18 10:47:47","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 02:27:26","author":"Jessie Brandon","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","publication":"salt water marshes","field_article_url":"","publication_url":"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/magazine\/story\/2014\/12\/louisville-heat-tree-cover-113424.html#.VJLm5orF83Y","dateline":{"date":"2014-12-09T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2014-12-09T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1224","name":"School of City \u0026 Regional Planning"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"1349","name":"Brian Stone"},{"id":"831","name":"climate change"},{"id":"437","name":"cooling"},{"id":"56681","name":"heat island"},{"id":"32991","name":"louisville"},{"id":"2327","name":"warming"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}},"359421":{"#nid":"359421","#data":{"type":"external_news","title":"SCaRP and Norcoss team up for immigrant study","body":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EA team of researchers from Georgia Tech plans a wide-ranging study of immigrants in one metro Atlanta community.
