Spring 2026 Pratt Earth Action Week

Pratt Earth Action Week, April 3–11, 2026, is a celebration of innovative sustainability work across our community of artists, designers, and architects, highlighting the vital role creative practice plays in addressing environmental and social challenges

REGISTRATION LINK: https://events.humanitix.com/urban-heatwalk-urban-heat-walk-block-by-block-microclimates-in-north-brooklyn-sp-2026-pratt-earth-action-weekNYC summers are already hot and getting hotter; it is imperative that we design cities that are livable for everyone. We will discover how city features—from the material used to pave a street to the paint color chosen for a wall—impact the microclimates we experience on just one neighborhood block. On this guided walk in and around McGolrick Park in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, we will measure and sense urban heat perceptions and reflect on how to design a habitable city for human and non-human residents. We will also explore how McGolrick Park’s tree canopy can support community wellbeing now and in the future. Participants will gain hands-on experience with thermal comfort assessment techniques.
