"The World Health Organisation says that 60% of people will live in
cities by 2030, and the more densely populated they become, the hotter
they’ll get. Considering that recent predictions warn temperatures in
South Asia will exceed the limits of human survival by the end of the
century, every degree counts. Even this year, 65 people have perished
from nearly 44C (111F) heat in Karachi, Pakistan – a city used to
extreme heat."
