A special issue of the Building Research and Information journal, drawn together by the Retrofit 2050 project, explores issues around retrofitting cities for climate change. Including papers from the expert reviews commissioned by the project and editorial by the project team, the journal explore issues such as:
- The challenges of scaling retrofit to the urban level
- The extent to which existing housing can be retrofitted
- The impact of social practices on retrofit processes
- Taking whole systems approaches to utility use and the built environment
