This thesis, titled 'Planning for Urban Heat Island: The Methodological Application of The Plan Integration for Resilience Scorecard™ (PIRS™) for Heat in Turin, Italy' contextualizes the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect in Turin. The PIRS™ for Heat (2022) methodology emphasizes the urgent need to address the UHI effect in Turin. By assessing the PIRS for Heat methodology as a policy transfer tool, the study gauges its effectiveness in Turin. The research advocates an integrated approach to urban planning and policy implementation and underscores the necessity for a comprehensive strategy to mitigate the UHI impact in the city efficiently. Research stresses Italy's urgent Heat Hazard and UHI challenges exacerbated by climate change, urban expansion, and limited green spaces, which is demonstrated by a 2022 research that cited Italy as having the worst rate of summertime heat-related mortality in all of Europe.
