Evaluation of Biomimicry-based Strategies to Improve Exterior Environmental parameters: A numerical Study at Urban Scale in a tropical Climate

Due to population growth, cities have expanded their urban areas, causing increased temperatures and vegetative scarcity. Therefore, studies have been carried out on the urban heat island phenomenon, its effect on people’s thermal stress, and how to mitigate this problem. This research aims to evalu...
