Awnings are still pretty common in Australia.

We have them on our house. In Australia it's very much worth getting awnings and ceiling fans as well as having a heat pump.

In summer afternoons they can make a really remarkable difference.

I'm from Brisbane and it seems like a lot of new build free-standing houses don't have awnings around here. I think most still have pretty deep eaves, which do an ok job.

However, based on what I can see from my train window right now, it looks like most new apartments/townhouses and even office buildings have some sort of awning or window covering.
