Harnessing street shade to mitigate heat stress: An in-situ parallel investigation under extreme heat conditions in tropical Singapore Open
In the face of global rising temperatures and excessive urban heat, developing effective heat mitigation strategies has become increasingly urgent. Street shade, a typical cooling shelter for urban dwellers, has been primarily investigated…
From walking to staying: The impact of spatial qualities on socio-spatial segregation in innovation districts Open
Innovation districts can spur urban economic growth but present challenges like socio-spatial segregation. To mitigate segregation, we emphasize the importance of “staying activities” such as sitting, playing, and relaxing, over transient …
Crop-Centric Agricultural Potential of Urban Surfaces: A Sunlight-Based Computational Approach for Food Security Open
Urban agricultural systems will be configured over the following years to respond to increasing climate change, urbanisation, and population growth.Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) is an increasing trend since it can be easily inte…
Assessment of overhead environments on pedestrian thermal comfort in a dense urban district Open
Outdoor thermal comfort in urban environmental settings is often investigated at a small scale, e.g., in street canyons. Yet, pedestrian thermal comfort in a district is scarcely assessed, especially in terms of the comprehensive overhead …
Measuring Impacts of Vertically Integrated Pedestrian Network Configurations on Urban Space Use in Dense Built Environments Open
Integrated mixed-use developments are increasingly taking the form of vertical extensions of urban spaces on the ground.The spatial networks within the evolving vertical neighbourhoods, their relationships with the larger urban fabric, and…
Birds use of vegetated and non-vegetated high-density buildings—a case study of Milan Open
Our study provides a first look at the relationship between large-scale buildings incorporating vegetation (Dense and Green) and bird species richness in Milan, and is one of the studies conducted so far to assess this relationship globall…
