Future Research 04 Optimizing for A More Equitable Cool Corridor Planning

A group of MIT PhD students, who held a course on urban heat related issues, were invited to offer a lecture to equip students with fundamental knowledge covers the following topics:

1. Introduction of urban heat

2.Decoding the impacts of urban heat on human and environment

3. Optimizing urban heat mitigation performance through spatial design elements

4. Advanced research and practices related to urban heat mitigation
