This systematic review explores the role of urban green infrastructure (UGI) in enhancing climate resilience, focusing mainly on heat mitigation modelling and its application at both building scales. The study analyses 207 articles published last five years screening stage 50 inclusion stage, highlighting effectiveness UGIs reducing ambient temperatures improving energy efficiency through shading evapotranspiration. Advanced simulation tools like Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Building Performance Simulation (BPS) are increasingly relied upon, though challenges remain accurately vegetation urban-climate interactions. identifies critical research gaps, particularly evaluating UGI’s performance under future change seasonal variation scenarios, emphasising need for refined techniques. Moreover, evapotranspiration needs to be developed BPS scale. Addressing these gaps is essential optimising UGI design ensure their climates. calls further studies long-term especially rising global evolving environments.

Published: May 2, 2024

This article identifies potential synergies between the domains of crime prevention and climate change adaptation within built environment. It delves into three specific risks associated with change—heat, wildfires, flooding tidal surges—and investigates how adapting environment to these challenges may inadvertently affect vulnerability or prevention. examines human-controlled nature-based solutions, such as trees community gardens, can reduce both heat-related problems risks. The discusses passive cooling through architectural design in hot climates explores strategies for reducing wildfire landscaping building design. Additionally, it considers implications sea walls floating structures face surges flooding. concludes by underscoring need further research this intersection role scientists shaping safer urban environments amid change.

The influence of street spatial form on thermal comfort from urban morphology and human-centered perspectives has been underexplored. This study, utilizing multi-source data focusing central districts, establishes a refined index system for prediction model based extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) Shapley additive explanations (SHAP). results reveal the following: (1) Thermal levels display heterogeneity, with areas discomfort concentrated in commercial zones plaza spaces. (2) Compared to perspective, indicators correlate strongly comfort. (3) key factors influencing comfort, descending order importance, are distance green blue infrastructure (GBI), tree visibility factor (TVF), aspect ratio (H/W), orientation, functional diversity indices, sky view factor. All but TVF negatively correlates (4) In local analyses, primary affecting vary across streets different heat-risk levels. high streets, is mainly influenced by GBI, H/W, whereas low vegetation-related dominate.

In order do so, 10 street segments from neighborhoods sampled city-wide inventories were selected. Information about length, curb ramps’ width, number utility poles was collected for each segment. trees fit segment neighborhood determined based on safety recommendations these structures. Tree dimensions (Diameter at Breast Height - DBH, total height crown diameter) projected 55th year post-planting, using minimum seedlings small, medium large-sized species. It done i-Tree Eco software. Significant differences floristic (p<0.05) observed all both cities. Compositions featuring species show higher ability provide services, as well monetary valuation, despite fitting a smaller assessed segments. herein formulated shown potential increase planted select compositions capable maximizing services’ provision trees’ value.
