Experimental and Theoretical analysis of the urban overheating and its mitigation potential in a hot arid city – Alice Springs

Urban overheating has become a growing concern in the Northern Territory of Australia, where residents are suffering from excessive heat and frequent heatwaves. The characteristics of the local climate of Alice Springs and the impact of mitigation strategies are investigated in this study. Experimental campaigns were performed to determine the characteristics of urban overheating. Advanced microclimate simulations were performed to develop...
