Abstract:
Tree planting is one of the veritable tools for combating urban heat island and improving thermal comfort in the wake of global warming and urbanisation. Besides, the shadow-cast effect by buildings helps in reducing pedestrian radiant load and consequently improves thermal comfort, especially in high-density cities even though ventilation is reduced. A holistic and contextual understanding of tree planting and shadow-casting can help in designing climate-proof cities. The impact of different urban densities on the thermal comfort improvement potential by eight common tree species was specifically studied. Results show that shallow canyons are susceptible to worse thermal condition when compared to their deeper counterparts with similar aspect ratio value. For the reference of planners and landscape architects, this study recommends tall trees of low canopy density with high trunk in deeper canyons and vice versa for shallow canyons and open areas.
