Climate change is spurring architects and housing developers around the world to think about how to make homes more comfortable and safe during extreme weather. Those who are most at risk from climate change are marginalized populations, including: people with low incomes, experiencing or at risk of homelessness, Indigenous people, and people with disabilities. Vienna House is a project being built in Vancouver that is creating affordable housing resilient to climate change.
