    Approaching the limits of climate viability: Urban heat vulnerability in Atlanta and how to adapt
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2023-10-04) Stone, Brian
    As our world grapples with the undeniable impacts of climate change, urban areas face unique challenges. Among them, the relentless rise in urban temperatures, often referred to as the "urban heat island effect," poses significant threats to the well-being of our communities. Stone, a leading authority in the field of climate science and urban planning, will shed light on the specific context of Atlanta, as recently highlighted in the article titled "Heat risk is growing. These are Atlanta's most vulnerable neighborhoods" in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

    Building Equity: Lessons in Sustainability from Community to College Campuses
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-11-08) Hernández, Diana
    Buildings represent a middle ground between high-level and small-scale infrastructure. For this reason, they embody specific factors at the intersection of equity and opportunity. For example, recent studies show a correlation between energy efficiency upgrades, usually of interest only to the landlord; and the likelihood of tenant financial burdens and disconnection notices for energy bills. Correlations such as these at the building scale can help reveal otherwise unseen implications of transitions to less environmentally impactful energy technologies. The idea of “just transitions” will be explored in this context, as will comparative approaches from different segments of the US population from college campuses to community settings.

    Redeveloping Turner Field. The Atlanta Braves are moving out of Turner Field, and into the suburbs. But an aging ballpark isn’t the only thing the team is leaving behind. The neighborhood around Turner Field has seen promises for development come and go with little to show for it. Now, with the Braves’ departure, there is new hope, along with new questions, about the area’s future. Join us for a program about the future of Turner Field and the community around it.

    "Just a Perfect Day? Developing a Happiness Optimised Day Schedule."
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-10-23) Pokutta, Sebastian
    With the day Reconstruction Method (DRM), Kahneman, Krueger, Schkade, Schwarz, and Stone (2004) introduced an important approach in subjective well-being (SWB) research to explore how people experience daily activities. A major unresolved question for laypeople and scholars alike resulting from this research, however, is the neglect of saturation and scarcity effects in this area of study. To fill this gap, we apply methods from optimisation research to the field of SWB. Combining utility functions with DRM data allows us to generate an optimal day schedule. It differs considerably from how people usually spend their time, whereby the distribution of activities is remarkably even. The results show how a paradigm shift away from a focus on increasing Gross Domestic Product towards greater well-being at the macrolevel could play out at the microlevel with potential consequence for how we might live our day-to-day lives.
