Urban Green Systems for Improving Pedestrian Thermal Comfort and Walkability in Future Climate Scenarios in London
The purpose of this research is to investigate the thermal impact of urban green systems (UGS) (trees and living facades) and high albedo pavements on reducing the urban heat island (UHI) effect in London at the pedestrian street level. The research assesses the impact of UGS by suggesting practicab...
