Abstract We applied Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model's Multilayer Urban Canopy Model (MLUCM) to simulate the urban climate of Singapore during a hot period in April 2016. The high‐resolution local zone (LCZ) map was used as land use/land cover data order study intraurban variability different LCZ classes. for developed by adopting World Database Access Portal Tools (WUDAPT) methodology based on satellite remote sensing imageries building height data. coupled WRF/MLUCM model...
In light of globally increasing temperatures, accentuated in cities by the urban heat island effect, planners and designers are looking for new, quantitative methods to assess performance their designs terms ecosystem services provided vegetation. Among these services, improved microclimate conditions particularly important human thermal comfort health. this study, an scene tropical city Singapore is numerically investigated with a fully-integrated, three-dimensional model implemented...
In many countries, urban heat island (UHI) effects come along with urbanization in metropolitan areas. They have relevant adverse on the health and wellbeing of citizens. Singapore is strongly affected by UHI. this study, we assess Singaporeans’ willingness to pay (WTP) for UHI mitigation implementing a contingent valuation analysis. Specifically, employ double-bounded dichotomous survey design representative sample 1822 online respondents. We find that Singaporeans are willing sacrifice...
The topic of this paper evolves on the discourse digital modeling in landscape design. Current design methods stagger to address physical forms and dynamics present environment. This status quo limits possibilities integrate scientific evidence when developing spatial aesthetic configurations urban landscapes. Remote sensing technology such as laser scanning measures reproduce them geo-specific 3D models, while dynamic simulation is widely used predict how scenarios will perform under given...
Decision makers (DMs) who are involved in urban planning often required to allocate finite resources (say, money) improve outdoor thermal comfort (OTC) levels a region (e.g., city, canton, country). In this paper, for the first time, we address following two questions, which directly related requirement: (1) How can statistical properties of spatial risk profile an area from OTC perspective be quantified, no matter index DM chooses use? (2) Given profile, how much and where should levels? We...

Abstract In response to the comment on our paper “High‐resolution, multilayer modeling of Singapore's urban climate incorporating local zones,” we provide detailed each incorrect accusations with scientifically based evidence. We have evaluated model using all available observational data, and results showed good agreement. Our study includes assumptions, as work does, discussed their rationales possible implications.
