Abstract
Heatwaves are Australia’s deadliest natural hazard. While research has demonstrated the negative impacts of urban heat islands on human health and comfort, there is a need to expand knowledge to understand its relationship with urban design and planning and its effects on people’s experiences of a place. Climate responsive urban design and planning offers the potential to trigger benign microclimates and support citizen’s health and resilience, as well as contributing to saving energy in buildings.
