Presentation at the IPWEAQ 2018 Conference

A few weeks ago, on the 19th April, I presented a 3-part project I have been working on at the IPWEAQ 2018 Conference (Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia North Queensland Branch), here in Cairns. The conference program is available here.

This 3-part project is made of essentially three separated projects with different themes and teams. Each one of these projects have their own milestones and could be developed alone, but they build on each other’s data to provide a comprehensive overview of the questions around urban comfort in cities. They also explore how urban comfort influences multiple aspects of urban life, and one of the projects is particularly focused on urban economy. The presentation entitled ‘Urban Comfort, Sensing City and Urban Economy’ (slides below) covered:

• Part 1 – Urban Comfort in Cairns
• Part 2 – Sensing Cities: Smart Thermal Comfort and Climate Adaptation
• Part 3 – Evidence-based Economic Assessment of Urban Comfort
