Why is (re)development hot?: Measuring cumulative heat in Australian cities

澳大利亚住宅区的增量（再）开发是零碎的，规划监督各不相同，并导致潜在的有害累积变暖。该项目旨在确定住宅（再）开发的变暖效应，并调查控制与热暴露增加相关的建筑形式变化的规划政策的影响。使用大型地理空间数据集和准实验研究设计，在过去十年中，澳大利亚郊区在微（街道峡谷）和邻里尺度上的变暖将归因于（再）发展类型和政策中的“裂缝”，以告知气候适应性规划。

Incremental (re)development of Australia’s residential areas occurs piecemeal, with varied planning oversight, and results in potentially harmful cumulative warming. This project aims to causally identify the warming effect of residential (re)development and investigate the impact of planning policies that control changes in the built form associated with increased heat exposure. Using large geospatial datasets and a quasi-experimental research design, warming in Australia’s suburbs over the past decade at the micro (street canyon)- and neighbourhood-scales, will be attributed to (re)development types and ‘fissures’ in policy to inform climate resilient planning.
