Abstract Effective landscape design, which optimizes solar irradiation and absorbed heat to reduce mean radiant temperature (MRT), is critically important for enhancing outdoor thermal comfort, particularly given the ongoing global decline in vegetated areas. Using Cairo, Egypt as a case study, it examines how variations design layouts surface materials influence reflected energy and, consequently, urban climate. The research introduces novel approach by integrating generative parametric modeling optimize park microclimates, offering structured methodology sustainable climate-resilient spaces. A was employed test various configurations, adjusting paving size, material distribution, Rotation angle Landscape, tree placement. Over 1,500 cases were simulated analyzed using Climate Studio plugin Grasshopper 3D. Through algorithms, an optimized framework developed identify effective strategies cooling. Findings indicate that smaller, scattered hardscape patterns with maximum 6% divided ratio, combined light dark surfaces, wood, softscape areas, significantly energy. Tree placement over light-colored hardscapes proved lowering reflection, while optimal tile rotations towards northern orientation. Multi-variable scenarios optimization incorporating trees, water reflective achieved up 44% reduction irradiation. These results highlight importance of balancing vegetation features, utilizing dispersed patterns. study provides actionable insights planners architects sustainable, climate-adaptive cities.

Urban development driven by population growth and technological advancements has intensified urban heat islands (UHIs), contributing to environmental damage health risks. This study explores the potential of cool pavements as a critical strategy for mitigating UHIs, focusing on reflective, evaporative, energy-storing technologies. Over 400 reputable scientific articles were reviewed analyze UHI causes; measurement methods, including remote sensing laboratory techniques; effectiveness various pavement solutions. Reflective demonstrated capacity lower surface temperatures 5–20 °C depending reflectivity changes, while evaporative reduced 5–35 based type design. Advanced not only achieved 3–5 temperature reduction but also generated renewable energy. research provides comprehensive classification cooling systems evaluates their quantitative qualitative benefits, emphasizing transformative role in enhancing sustainability reducing effects.
