Urban Heat Mitigation Strategies: An Architecture Perspective explores heat mitigation strategies integrated into the urban architecture of global cities, aiming to enhance citizens' quality of life through thoughtful design decisions blending architecture, science and engineering. The projects examined exemplify top-tier approaches in architecture, urban planning, landscape design, and engineering across diverse city precincts worldwide. Inspired by architect and urban designer Lewis Mumford's 1970s call for urban spaces that support citizens, these initiatives focus not just on aesthetics but also on effective social and climate change mitigation strategies.
Featuring international urban projects recognized for both architectural significance and improved thermal comfort, this book examines the various heat mitigation strategies in major urban projects using architectural and engineering methodologies. Combining architectural formal/critical analysis with engineering performance modelling, the authors offer qualitative and quantitative assessments of each urban project. These projects showcase best practices utilizing elements such as water, materials, vegetation, and canopy to mitigate heat and promote civic life. Originally intended for aesthetics and social functionality, these strategies now serve as benchmarks for creating thermally comfortable public spaces globally.
Relevant to architects, city planners, landscape designers and engineers, Urban Heat Mitigation Strategies: An Architecture Perspective promotes successful collaboration among built environment professionals to address climate concerns and create liveable, comfortable urban spaces
