Assessment and adaption of urban cultural heritage assets as touristic destination towards the impact of UHI : case study: City of Edinburgh
(2022)Preserving cultural heritage sites has always faced many challenges in a rapidly growing and changing world, mainly in urban areas [Dastgerdi et al., 2019]. Overall, the urban environment faces imminent risks due to climate ... -
Assessment of intra-city urban heat island effect in relation to vulnerable stakeholders in Karachi, Pakistan via LCZ classification, Land Surface Temperature analysis and traverse surveys
(2020)Presently, the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon and its impacts are gaining momentum as a major research focus in South Asian urban climate literature. However, the case of Karachi, despite recurring heatwaves and ... -
Biomimicry approaches to mitigate the urban heat island
(2020)Mitigating Urban Heat Island Intensity (UHII) requires a comprehensive understanding of its relationship with global climate change, the underlying reasons, and adoption of all sorts of ideas from multidisciplinary fields. ... -
Exploring the triadic relation of urban form, wind, and air quality at street level : a case of City of London, UK
(2020)The triadic relation on urban form, air quality and the wind environment at street level in a dense setting of the City of London is investigated through detailed characterisation of the urban form, wind simulation and ... -
Green roof runoff modelling in Dublin for climate resilience : runoff reduction performance of a single green roof for stormwater management using hydrological modelling with climate change projections
(2021)This thesis aims to show the runoff reduction performance of green roofs based on climate change projection scenarios using hydrological simulation tools for mitigating and adapting to flooding events in a flood prone city, ... -
Impact of urban greening and verticalization on the outdoor thermal comfort : a case study of Thimphu city, Bhutan
(2023)Urban Heat Island (UHI) continues to the be the most explored and intensively studied in the field of urban climate. It is linked predominantly with the growing impacts of urbanisation and associated impervious surfaces. ... -
Mapping Thermal Hotspots in Malé, Maldives : Assessing the Relationship Between Urban Heat Islands, Climate, and Heat Risk for Sustainable Urban Planning
(2023)This study aims to support climate-conscious urban development in greater Male’, Maldives, based on characterizations of the local microclimate. It explores intra-urban temperature variations, identifies heat risks and ... -
Multicriteria heat vulnerability assessment for the metropolitan region of Toulouse (FR)
(2022)Based on key findings of the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report (AR6), “It is virtually certain that hot extremes (including heatwaves) have become more frequent and more intense across most land regions”. Within this context, ... -
MUrCS Proceedings 2021
(LAB University of Applied Sciences, 2021)The second MUrCS (Master in Urban Climate and Sustainability) proceedings introduces 15 articles by students graduated from the programme in 2021. The articles are classified under the main themes Climate change adaptation ... -
Planning for a cooler future : heat risk assessment and mitigation in Lahti
(2024)With the rapidly changing climate, heat risk is increasing rapidly in colder regions as well. Finland is projected to see higher rise in temperatures than the global average and thus needs to be prepared to mitigate these ... -
Quantifying the effect of anthropogenic and climate parameters on urban heat island using machine learning
(2022)The intensity of UHI in today's developed areas indicates the extent of environmental modification. Replacing natural surfaces with artificial materials has been the main difference between rural and urban areas. Therefore, ... -
The Role of Urban Vegetation in Urban Heat Island (UHI) Mitigation and Outdoor Thermal Comfort Improvement : Case Study of Tampere, Finland
(2023)Nowadays, cities face continuous exposure to the effects of urban heat island (UHI), a phenomenon where urban areas experience higher temperatures than rural areas (Oke et al., 2017). In Tampere, Finland, it is projected ...
