Urban areas
worldwide face the dual challenge of managing rising temperatures due to the
urban heat island (UHI) effect and creating sustainable urban spaces. This
paper introduces an integrated tool that combines UHI simulation with plant
species optimization for green roofs and walls. The tool employs machine
learning (ML), computer vision (CV), and geographic information systems (GIS)
to aid architects and urban planners in designing climate-resilient cities. By
leveraging local climate data, vegetation indices, and building
characteristics, the tool predicts the impact of increased vegetation on UHI
mitigation and provides optimal plant recommendations. The comprehensive
workflow includes data collection, predictive modelling, and user-friendly
visualization, enabling informed decision-making for sustainable urban
planning.
