Assessment of wind characteristics and urban heat island dynamics for urban planning : a case study of Toulouse, France.
(2020)
To build liveable, resilient and climate responsive cities today, there is a need for city planners to understand the local complexities of the urban environments, especially in a changing urban climate. The prevailing ...
Vulnerability and Glasgow Greendex : a framework to optimise the impact of green infrastructure in improving socio-environmental vulnerability
(2020)
The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the socio-environmental vulnerability blended with the potential of GI in Glasgow to demonstrate how two different aspects such as social and environmental aspects that often ...
Livable public waterfront : Case study: Teivas shoreline
(2020)
Over the last years, cities worldwide have started to develop their waterfront areas for recreation and public use. The shoreline in the south-eastern part of Lake Vesijärvi and that closest to the city centre of the city ...
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, ...
Microclimatic analysis to mitigate urban heat islands using urban climatic map approach : Toulouse, France
(2021)
Cities are urbanising at a fast phase to accommodate more people, which leads to global and local warming. Due to urbanisation, European cities are facing summer heatwave issues. The air temperature reaches up to 40 degrees ...
Towards climate embedded local planning in Sri Lanka to mitigate overheating : the case of Colombo.
(2021)
Sri Lanka attracted a ripple of developments since the aftermath of a civil war and Colombo, the capital city, is undergoing an unprecedented development phase which could permanently alter its land cover and thus contribute ...
Green infrastructure cooling strategies for urban heat island mitigation in cities : case study of Glasgow city centre
(2021)
Synergy of the warming produced by the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect and current climate trends is likely to affect the thermal environment of the cities. Urban green infrastructure (UGI) has been promoted as a key strategy ...
Urban morphology and streetscaping as an approach to mitigate urban heat island in Glasgow city centre
(2021)
The urban heat island or UHI is perhaps one of the most apparent consequences of climate change in cities. UHI is characterised as an urban area that is considerably warmer than its surrounding [Oke, 2017]. This phenomenon ...
Urbanisation and climate change effects on urban drainage performance : a case study of SUDS in a risk area in the city of La Paz, Bolivia
(2021)
The city of La Paz in Bolivia has witnessed many disaster events attributed to a surplus of rainfall, causing flooding and landslides on urban settlements. This study presents a quantitative evaluation of the effects of ...
A hedonic pricing model in Helsinki, Finland : exploring the impacts of green infrastructure on apartment listing prices
(2022)
Green Infrastructure (GI) is a critical element of urban sustainability that provides environmental, economic, and social benefits. Adoption, however, has been slow. It is critical to demonstrate the paybacks in localized ...
