Introduction

This report documents the work undertaken by E2DESIGN and Monash University in assessing the impact of different policy settings on the biophysical environment, including urban warmth, of a de-identified case study suburban landscape in Melbourne[1].  The partner report produced by RCMG “Estimating the economic benefits of urban heat island mitigation – economic analysis”, assesses and quantifies the economic benefits of the reduced summertime heat produced by those settings and is available through the CRC for Water Sensitive Cities.
