Project
Description
This project demonstrates the capability of an urban design generation model developed by my research team for evaluating multiple scenarios for cooler cities focusing on Urban Heat Island (UHI) and Discomfort Index (DI) (Thom, 1956). We are using this model to assist city planners in identifying design solutions that can achieve higher development densities with awareness of UHI impact.
