Sweltering Streets Heat Index Score

This interactive map (available at https://radiata.app.carto.com/map/fef4e2d5-caea-440b-aef7-ce514cba1bb6) was used for the Melbourne Centre for Cities Map of the Month project (https://www.unimelb.edu.au/cities/projects/current-projects/map-of-the-month).

This map uses Geoscape data to determine what percentage of the surface area in the 60m surrounding each building in Greater Melbourne is made of hot, cool, or neutral materials (excluding surrounding buildings), and gives a heat score based on that calculation.

The map was published in Pursuit at https://pursuit.unimelb.edu.au/articles/these-maps-tell-us-we-need-to-cool-our-sweltering-streets.
