AB  - Dealing with heat stress in Australian cities is of increasing concern to decisionmakers. Indeed, heat is already an issue affecting Melbourne with people, buildings, and infrastructure all evidenced as being vulnerable to episodes of extreme heat. It is likely that without deliberate interventions the urban heat island (UHI) will be further amplified by a combination of increasing urbanisation to cater for anticipated population growth and increasing temperatures associated with global climate change.
