Cooling hot cities: a systematic and critical review of the numerical modelling literature

Cooling hot cities: a systematic and critical review of the numerical modelling literature

Infrastructure-based heat reduction strategies can help cities adapt to high temperatures, but simulations of their cooling potential yield widely varying predictions. We systematically review 146 studies from 1987 to 2017 that conduct physically based numerical modelling of urban air temperature re...
