Urban Morphology, Climate, and Computing

Urban Morphology, Climate, and Computing: Adapting the Built Environment to Future Climate Scenarios examines the relationship between climate science, environmental impact, and urban planning. Through detailed climate models and AI-driven parametric studies, it offers practical insights into how urban morphology interacts with climate factors, influences environmental conditions, and threatens environmental sustainability. This book addresses the risks posed by urbanization, such as the urban heat island effect, heat stress, and extreme weather events. It also provides strategies to mitigate these impacts by employing big data engineering, modelling techniques, and AI technologies.

• Introduces a novel urban impact framework to fully consider the changes in the physical environment brought about by urbanization, contextualizing all key urban characteristics and connecting them with urban climate impacts
• Employs advanced technologies like HPC, cluster and cloud computing, and AI meteorological models for extensive climate simulations and parametric studies
• Emphasizes environmental sustainability by stressing the importance of integrating environmental considerations into urban planning
