Description

The municipality of Vienna ordered an Urban Heat Vulnerability Map to understand the impact and vulnerability of the city to extreme heat, after having endured several heat waves. Based on the study results, the city launched a pilot project in 2019 named “Cool Streets” to target heat vulnerability points that included several practical actions to undertake to tackle the urban heat island effect in the city.

Impact & Result

  • The planting of 3,000 trees annually helps improve air quality, increase greenery, and support local ecosystems.
  • The pilot project "Cool Streets" aims to reduce the heat vulnerability in the city, tackling the urban heat island effect by implementing green infrastructure.
  • Reduced reliance on air conditioning during heat waves can lower energy bills for residents and businesses.

Solution Spotlight

The Urban Heat Vulnerability Map is processing 3 times more data sets and is delivered 4 times quicker than the traditional approach, empowering cities to identify the most vulnerable areas to extreme heat events and therefore maximise the impact of the implementation of heat mitigation strategies.
