Urban heat inequity, also termed thermal inequity, is an unequal distribution of heat in urban areas or neighborhoods within them, which causes disproportionate impacts to people living in those communities. Unequal threat of heat stress in urban environments is often correlated with differences in demographics, including racial and ethnic background, income, education level, and age.[1] While the general impacts of urban heat inequity depend on the city studied, negative effects typically act on historically marginalized communities.[1] The idea is closely tied to the urban heat island effect, where a major cause to urban heat inequity is increased urbanization.[2]
