PAS Reports
Since 1949, APA's PAS Report series has offered planners comprehensive guidance on important planning issues and innovative practices.

Planning for Urban Heat Resilience
PAS Report 600
Heat is the number one weather-related killer in the United States, and rising global temperatures will only increase its impacts. This PAS Report shows planners how to help their communities achieve greater resiliency by proactively and equitably managing and mitigating heat across the many systems and sectors it affects.
