Hot Houses - The impact of trees on residential houses

These were the printed documents used in the participatory mapping workshops for the Melbourne Centre for Cities Map of the Month project (https://www.unimelb.edu.au/cities/projects/current-projects/map-of-the-month).

These maps used OpenStreetMap to locate residential buildings in Greater Melbourne, and the Victorian Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action Vicmap Vegetation – Tree Urban Point dataset to locate trees, with calculations run to determine amount of tree coverage per residence.

Following the participatory workshop, new maps were created for this theme and published in Pursuit at https://pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/these-maps-tell-us-we-need-to-cool-our-sweltering-streets.
