“…However, these two types of indicators have variable importance in different types of UFZ. Both 2D and 3D building morphology indicators reflect the roughness of the urban surface and urban ventilation conditions, which conjointly regulate the urban surface thermal environment [ 69 ]. Nevertheless, these two types of indicators tend to influence urban LST in different ways.…”

Local warming induced by rapid urbanization has been threatening residents’ health, raising significant concerns among urban planners. Local climate zone (LCZ), a widely accepted approach to reclassify the urban area, which is helpful to propose planning strategies for mitigating local warming, has been well documented in recent years. Based on the LCZ framework, many scholars have carried out diversified extensions in urban zoning research in recent years, in which urban functional zone (UFZ) is a typical perspective because it directly takes into account the impacts of human activities. UFZs, widely used in urban planning and management, were chosen as the basic unit of this study to explore the spatial heterogeneity in the relationship between landscape composition, urban morphology, urban functions, and land surface temperature (LST). Global regression including ordinary least square regression (OLS) and random forest regression (RF) were used to model the landscape-LST correlations to screen indicators to participate in following spatial regression. The spatial regression including semi-parametric geographically weighted regression (SGWR) and multiscale geographically weighted regression (MGWR) were applied to investigate the spatial heterogeneity in landscape-LST among different types of UFZ and within each UFZ. Urban two-dimensional (2D) morphology indicators including building density (BD); three-dimensional (3D) morphology indicators including building height (BH), building volume density (BVD), and sky view factor (SVF); and other indicators including albedo and normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and impervious surface fraction (ISF) were used as potential landscape drivers for LST. The results show significant spatial heterogeneity in the Landscape-LST relationship across UFZs, but the spatial heterogeneity is not obvious within specific UFZs. The significant impact of urban morphology on LST was observed in six types of UFZs representing urban built up areas including Residential (R), Urban village (UV), Administration and Public Services (APS), Commercial and Business Facilities (CBF), Industrial and Manufacturing (IM), and Logistics and Warehouse (LW). Specifically, a significant correlation between urban 3D morphology indicators and LST in CBF was discovered. Based on the results, we propose different planning strategies to settle the local warming problems for each UFZ. In general, this research reveals UFZs to be an appropriate operational scale for analyzing LST on an urban scale.

“…First, the different attributes of landscape patterns directly induce changes in local haze pollutants. Second, studies have shown that prevailing types of land use and architectural patterns could affect surface temperature [37][38][39][40], while the morphological characteristics of urban street canyons could affect wind speed and direction [41]. Therefore, changes in the structural features of land surfaces indirectly affect the local climate, which in turn indirectly impacts on the non-uniformity of the distribution of energy and matter, the transport of particles, and the spatial distribution of urban atmospheric pollutants [36].…”

“…The relevant attribute information is managed using the ArcGIS software. Finally, in the sixth step, the landscape pattern characteristics for each degree of risky regions are summarized [37]. Accordingly, recommendations on an appropriate landscape pattern for heavily polluted areas can be provided in terms of building types and density and other landscape indices associated with safe regions [81].…”

IntroductionChina's urbanization rate is expanding rapidly [1], as evidenced by an increase from 17.9% in 1978 to 60.6% in 2019. The growth of cities has prompted a number of environmental problems, such as the urban heat island effect along with air and water pollution [2,3]. Haze pollution, which occurs when aerosols accumulate in the lower atmosphere, has a tremendous influence on the urban atmospheric environment [4,5]. In 2016, the atmospheric environmental quality of 254 out of 338 Chinese cities at the prefecture level and above

In contemporary design practices, there is a disconnect between the design techniques used for early-stage design experimentation and performance analysis, and those used for the manufacture and construction. This study addresses the problems in developing an integrated digital design workflow and provides a research framework for integrating environmental performance requirements with robotic manufacturing processes on a construction site. The proposed method enables the user to import a design surface, identify design parameters, set several environmental performance goals, and thereafter simulate and select a robotic building strategy. Based on these inputs, design alternatives are developed and evaluated, considering their robotically simulated constructibility, in terms of their performance criteria. To validate the proposed method, the design is evaluated in an experiment wherein a double-skin facade perforation is generated using the proposed methodology. The results suggest a heuristic feature to improve the simulated robotic constructibility. Moreover, the functionality of the prototype is demonstrated.
