Domain-specific¶
- Risk Transfer Without Reduction
- Coastal and fluvial flood policy — the formative case; a levee, seawall, or berm protecting one frontage redirects surge or wave energy to neighbouring shorelines or downstream floodplains, the "levees-beget-levees" dynamic and the European "Polder paradox." Urban heat policy — cool-roof and shade-tree investments concentrated in higher-income neighbourhoods leave heat exposure intact in less-resourced blocks; the city average drops while the worst-off do worse
This sourceDocuments the underlying exposure disparity across 108 US urban areas -- formerly redlined blocks about 2.6 degrees C hotter, up to 7 degrees C, with less tree canopy and more impervious surface -- but not the targeting of cool-roof or shade-tree investment, nor the city-average-improves dynamic.

- Urban Heat Island
- The burden is unevenly distributed — an environmental-justice dimension: poorer neighbourhoods tend to have fewer trees, more asphalt and dark surfaces, and less access to air conditioning, so they sit in the hotter part of the spatial gradient and bear more of the risk
This sourceEstablishes that formerly redlined neighbourhoods across 108 US urban areas run about 2.6 °C warmer, with less tree canopy and more impervious surface, in 94% of the areas studied; it does not address air-conditioning access.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 2 citations: 2 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
