Research output: Book/Research ReportResearch report

Abstract

The Climate Adapted People Shelters (CAPS) project has initiated collaborative, design-led approaches to reimagining the place and function of bus shelters, specifically in response to conditions of increasing urban heat and extreme weather events in Western Sydney. This Report contributes to the research outputs of the project, with a focus on the current and potential uses of smart infrastructure technologies within bus shelter designs. Looking ahead, research into potential areas for future investigation has also been undertaken, with a view to informing ideas and strategies for future investment in urban heat mitigation activities in Western Sydney.
