| summary |
As cities are getting hotter, the urban heat islands effect will become an increased concern for cities. While urban heat migration strategies are well researched and understood, some strategies of implementing urban heat mitigation focus on private land - thus depend on the owner's uptake. This research shifts mitigation strategies to the public land where governments have legislative control over the corridor between privately owned cadastral the street corridor. This paper asks the question how a computational tool could assist councils in redesigning streets to mitigate urban heat. Literature review confirmed a direct relationship between the magnitude of urban heat and street layout, vegetation and materials used, position of street to sun and wind direction - yet no tool that assists a designer exists - the focus of the research. We present first findings and the iterative development of our street design tool. Via our tool one can alter variables such as vegetation type, materials or street configuration until urban heat mitigation is optimized. This is a significant step towards cooling our cities as designers now have a process that translates expert knowledge on urban heat into a tool that lets them design as well as evaluate their design. |
