Hot Cities A Transdisciplinary Agenda Wendy Steele, RMIT University, Australia, John Handmer, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Austria and Ian McShane, RMIT University, Australia ‘In the evolving reality of a heated planet, it is largely the voices of select natural sciences, finance, technology and risk appraisal that we hear.
