Urban Heat Mitigation Strategies: An Architecture Perspective explores heat mitigation strategies integrated into the urban architecture of global cities, aiming to enhance citizens' quality of life through thoughtful design decisions blending architecture, science and engineering.

Paola Favaro is a graduate in architecture from IUAV School of Architecture Venice, Italy and an academic at the School of Built Environment, UNSW Sydney. With a doctorate and a professional background in architecture and urban design, she is engaged in research, writing and lecturing. Since moving to Australia in 1998, she has had a long-standing interest in examining the work of Australian architects with European origins like Aldo Giurgola, Enrico Taglietti and Harry Seidler, with her publications widely recognised and presented at international conferences and symposia. As an active member of Docomomo and Sahanz, her current research explores climate change and urban heat mitigation strategies from an architectural perspective. Her recent works include authoring a chapter, "Venice Floods: An Urban Morphology Perspective in a Time of Climate Change" in Waterfront Regeneration in a Time of Climate Change: Recent Japanese and International Experiences (2025) edited by R. Pernice and T. Yaguchi; co-authoring the chapter "Solar Design of Additions to Historic Buildings" in Solar Energy Technologies in Cultural Heritage (2024) edited by Elena Lucchi; co-authoring and co-editing the book Adaptive Urban Architecture and Design: Tzannes (2024); and authoring the video-book History for Architecture: Alec Tzannes and Doojin Hwang in Sydney and Seoul (2023).
