Project description

This study will examine the impact of urban structure on heat stress index (WBGT) variations. It validates accuracy using meteorological data, calculates seasonal and spatial variations, identifies Local Climate Zones (LCZ) that significantly impact WBGT, and uses SURFEX Model Simulation. These findings can inform targeted recommendations for urban planning and climate adaptation strategies.
