Pedestrian Heat Exposure in Chengdu: Hotspot Identification and Public-Realm Responses

This project develops a multi-scale workflow for identifying pedestrian heat exposure hotspots and public-realm responses in Chengdu. Focusing on Chunxi Road Metro Plaza, it combines site screening, pedestrian-flow analysis, PMV-based thermal comfort mapping, ENVI-met and BIO-met simulation, sensitivity ranking, and design verification to propose cooling interventions such as structural shading, water-based cooling anchors, trees, and controlled paving strategies.
