Across the globe, cities are struggling with climate change induced extreme heat. Already hotter than the surrounding countryside, many cities are now experiencing unprecedented heat events. Extreme heat disproportionately impacts people experiencing marginality and disadvantage (e.g., migrants, lower income earners, unemployed, homeless), and drives higher rates of morbidity and mortality among older people and young children. A key response has been to undertake large scale greening of cities, through tree planting, green space, parks, green walls, green roofs and water-sensitive design (WSUD/SUDS). However, urban greening efforts can worsen experiences of marginality and disadvantage if they are not inclusive. Despite a focus of the United Nations on inclusivity in governance and decision-making, few studies point to practical steps to increase the involvement of culturally diverse, all abilities, LGBTQIA+, neurodiverse and people of all ages in the design, planning and implementation of urban greening projects. This seminar will provide practical insights into how we can promote inclusive greening to make cities cooler and more liveable. It will use Launceston, Tasmania as a case example, and will identify insights and lessons from the preparation of the city’s urban greening strategy. The seminar will show how to integrate remote sensing with co-design of policy innovations by people from diverse backgrounds.
