Cooling stations for
pedestrian comfort

Install a series of shade structures, misters and/or solar-powered fans to create shade and coolness in hot busy places such as shopping centre carparks, outdoor sporting facilities, city street corners, and outside schools and hospitals. The cooling stations could be permanent or mobile, and incorporate smart sensors to poweroff fans and misters when not in use, and to record temperature. Ideally stations would be place specific and co-designed with locals including those especially vulnerable to heat stress.
