Installation of climate shelters as an adaptation measure to urban heat islands in Córdoba, Argentina
In Córdoba, Argentina, heat waves affect the wait time of public transportation users, especially older adults and people with disabilities. Shelters 360 is a pilot project promoted by young FAUD-UNC students that adapts a bus stop by incorporating a green roof, sunshades and vertical modules with vegetation, with the aim of reducing the heat island effect and improving the accessibility of the space.
