This course explores the critical role of shade in urban design, public health, and climate resilience. It examines how natural, built, and combined shading systems reduce heat exposure, support thermal comfort, and enhance the usability of outdoor spaces. Through case studies, technical analysis, and planning frameworks, participants will learn how to evaluate shade needs, select appropriate solutions, and integrate shade into parks, plazas, transit stops, and other public environments.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Identify the health, environmental, and social drivers for incorporating shade in urban and community spaces.
  • Evaluate the functional, aesthetic, and ecological benefits of natural, built, and combined shade systems.

  • Assess how shade contributes to climate resilience, public health, and the equitable use of outdoor environments.
