Start date:
Project description:	Europe is warming at twice the global average, posing risks to public health, productivity, and urban ecosystems. The Cool Neighbourhoods project aims to mitigate heat stress by transforming 30,000 m² of public space through greening initiatives, enhancing health, recreation, and social connections. With €9.3 million in funding, including support from Interreg, the project will develop Neighbourhood Heat-Stress Action Plans (NHSAPs) and implement innovative solutions with 12 partners. The research focuses on identifying green, blue, and grey insights and selecting a citizen science method applicable across pilot countries to reduce the heat island effect and improve liveability. Research Question: How can proposed methods analyze neighbourhood typologies against heat stress and improve liveability in the Cool Neighbourhoods project? The following subquestions were made: How can green/blue/grey indices identify heat stress risks and opportunities? How can field research provide insights into pilot areas? Which citizen science method best suits each neighbourhood typology?
