Cooling Machines: Exploring the Heat Mitigation Effect of Urban Trees with Computer Vision
… existing streetscapes for increased levels of heat stress. While many aspects of existing urban morphology have an impact on heat exposure (e.g. sky view factor, glazing levels, facade materials), they cannot be rapidly changed at large across existing urban infrastructures. Urban authorities …

The effectiveness of Urban Green Infrastructure for urban heat regulation.
Excess urban heat is one of the significant challenges for cities, which combinedly occurs and exacerbates with urban heat islands, heatwaves and climate change impacts. It diminishes the quality of urban life and makes cities intrinsically more vulnerable than rural areas. Extreme heat has claimed …
