The revitalised urban spaces feature uniquely stylish canopies that are designed to improve the Universal Thermal Comfort Index (UTCI) from May to October, by maximising shade from the morning and afternoon sun, as well as misting systems, ‘green walls’, lightweight concrete pavement slabs and native plants and trees, all of which help cool the area. The canopies also roll up at night to allow cooling of the area in the evenings.
Each space aims to improve quality of life, health and wellbeing of communities in surrounding areas, by providing more open and inclusive areas to explore, interact and relax, during different times of the day and for most parts of the year.
