Making Florida Feel Cooler as Temperatures Rise<\/strong><\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Yi Luo, assistant professor in UF\u2019s Department of Landscape Architecture, studies microclimates, or areas that may have a different climate than their overall region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her recent work includes mitigating the heat for visitors at The St. Pete Pier and its 26-acre waterfront park.

Building a Resilient Park System in Port St. Joe<\/strong><\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Five years ago, Hurricane Michael devasted the Florida panhandle community of Port St. Joe. As part of the Florida Resilient Cities program, professors and students conducted extensive research and crafted design proposals to help the city recover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their work resulted in a comprehensive plan that would allow the city\u2019s parks to retain stormwater, minimize the risk of inundation surge, promote outdoor activities and a healthy lifestyle, and establish neighborhood connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
