On 4 January 2020, the temperature in Penrith hit 48.9°C, the highest ever recorded in Greater Sydney. In the next decade, dangerous days above 40°C are expected to become more frequent across the country.
Urban heat expert Professor Sebastian Pfautsch is working to adapt Western Sydney to the coming challenges and to create cooler streets and public spaces through clever design and revegetation.
See Pfautsch in conversation with Craig Reucassel, recorded live at the Powerhouse as part of 100 Climate Conversations. Bookings are essential as places are limited. Doors open at 2.45pm for a 3pm start. No late admittance.
