Abstract

This document will be useful to experts directly involved in the implementation of climate adaptation strategies in urban areas, such as urban area development and urban renewal programs. It provides practical support in identifying areas that are now, or could in the future, be affected by heat stress, and for proposing effective measures in (future) plans. For local authorities, developers, spatial designers, including landscape architects and urban planners, it provides practical instructions on how to evaluate and justify in an evidence-based way, different solutions to mitigate heat stress for effective climate proofing of urban areas.
