Background: Adapting the urban environment to heat is a public health priority in the context of climate change. Cities are now considering interventions on specific urban characteristics known to contribute to the urban heat island (UHI) such as vegetation and imperviousness.

Objectives: To explore how these urban characteristics influence the temperature-mortality relationship in the Paris region.

- Agnes Guillet's research focuses on the intersection of urban planning and public health, particularly in the context of climate change and extreme heat adaptation strategies.
- Her 2021 article investigates the effectiveness of 'greening' urban environments as a strategy to mitigate health risks associated with extreme heat, specifically examining the temperature-mortality relationship in the Paris region.
- The findings suggest that while increasing vegetation may help reduce heat impacts, it is insufficient on its own and should be part of a broader strategy to address urban heat islands and enhance public health resilience.
