City microclimates are described, including the Urban Heat Island Effect. There is also consideration of air pollution, smog and how vegetation and water, including parks, green roofs, living walls and street trees, rivers and waterbodies can cool cities. Benefits a water sensitive approach are described, including energy saving from reduced air conditioning and reduction in deaths during heatwaves.
