Influence of urban morphological characteristics on thermal environment
202
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of urban spatial forms on land surface temperature (LST), the spatial distribution of LST and five urban morphology indicators were analyzed, namely floor area ratio (FAR), plot ratio (PR), absolute rugosity (Ra), mean aspect ratio (λc), and sky view factor (SVF).

Contribution of urban functional zones to the spatial distribution of urban thermal environment
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper used OpenStreetMap and point of interest data combined with the classification standard of urban construction land, to identify the urban functional zones, and the random forest algorithm was used to evaluate the contribution of different types of urban functional zone to the urban thermal environment.

Exploring thermal comfort of urban buildings based on local climate zones
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper calculated the predicted mean vote (PMV) based on local climate zones (LCZs) using ENVI-met and studied correlations between LST and vegetation-type LCZs.

Morphological and functional polycentric structure assessment of megacity: An integrated approach with spatial distribution and interaction
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors explored the polycentric spatial development of megacities based on multi-source data, geographic information system spatial analysis, and network model methods, and found that morphological polycentric space can be defined as centralized dispersion, with the functional polycentric only comprised decentralised concentration.

Combining MSPA-MCR Model to Evaluate the Ecological Network in Wuhan, China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors comprehensively evaluated the ecological network space by combining the MSPA-MCR model, and the minimum cumulative ecological resistance surface was established, with an average value of 2.65, a maximum value of 4.70, and a minimum value of 1.00.

Local Climate Zones for Urban Temperature Studies
Iain D. Stewart,Timothy R. Oke +1 more
TL;DR: The Local Climate Zone (LCZ) classification system as discussed by the authors was developed to address the inadequacies of urban-rural description, and consists of 17 zone types at the local scale (102 to 104 m).
A review on the CFD analysis of urban microclimate
Yasin Toparlar,Yasin Toparlar,Bje Bert Blocken,Bje Bert Blocken,Bino Maiheu,G. J. F. van Heijst +5 more
TL;DR: A review of research reported in journal publications on CFD studies of urban microclimate till the end of 2015 suggests a possible change in this trend as the results from CFD simulations can be linked up with different aspects and thus, CFD can play an important role in transferring urban climate knowledge into engineering and design practice.
Evaluation of the ‘local climate zone’ scheme using temperature observations and model simulations
TL;DR: In this paper, the conceptual division of local climate zones (LCZs) with temperature observations and simulation results from surface-atmosphere models is evaluated for heat island studies, and it is shown that thermal contrasts exist among all LCZ classes, and such contrasts are governed largely by building height and spacing, pervious surface fraction, tree density, and soil wetness.

Urban green space cooling effect in cities
TL;DR: The results of the present study illustrate that the highest cooling effect distance and cooling effect intensity are for large urban parks with an area of more than 10 ha; however, in addition to the area, the natural elements and qualities of the urban green spaces, as well as climate characteristics, highly inform the urbanGreen space cooling effect.
