Abstract

Urban heat islands (UHIs) are a phenomenon that affects cities during heatwaves. The elderly, children or poor households are particularly vulnerable. We present the first measure of UHI exposure in France with respect to income. The link between exposure and income depends on whether affluent households live in city centres like in Paris or in wealthy suburbs like in Lyon. Pendant les vagues de chaleur, les îlots de chaleur urbains (ICU) affectent les villes. Les personnes âgées, les enfants ou les ménages pauvres sont particulièrement vulnérables. Nous présentons la première mesure de l’exposition aux ICU en France en fonction du revenu. Le lien entre l’exposition et le revenu varie selon que les ménages aisés vivent dans les centres-villes, comme à Paris, ou dans les banlieues riches, comme à Lyon.
