Schimbările climatice schimbă piața imobiliară. Zonele mai răcoroase devin tot mai scumpe

Extreme heat is reshaping the real estate market, pushing low-income communities away from cooler areas, according to a study from Barcelona. Wealthier individuals are increasingly purchasing homes in green, peripheral zones, a phenomenon termed 'climatic gentrification'. This shift is driven by the desire for cooler living environments, leading to rising property values that may displace those in need. Researchers have developed an index assessing heat exposure, green spaces, and social vulnerability across 36 locations. Similar trends are observed in cities like Boston and Miami, where climate factors influence real estate dynamics. The study highlights four main drivers of climatic gentrification, emphasizing the need for inclusive policies to prevent exacerbating social inequalities.
