Beskrivning
This book offers a comprehensive exploration of how artificial intelligence (AI), ecological design, and governance reforms can be leveraged to tackle climate-induced urban heat.The book is structured around three key themes: AI for climate adaptation, green infrastructure and design innovation, and policy and planning perspectives. It delves into how intelligent technologies like remote sensing, real-time monitoring, and machine learning are revolutionising the assessment and management of urban microclimate risks. Specific applications include enhancing urban resilience through hyperlocal weather alert systems and analysing the influence of vegetation and building distribution on urban heat for better mitigation. The book further examines how nature-based interventions, such as AI-optimised vegetation strategies and cooling infrastructure, can create thermally comfortable and ecologically robust urban environments. It highlights the growing intersection of AI and green infrastructure in climate adaptation and urban sustainability. Beyond technology and design, the author focuses on governance and policy frameworks, exploring how institutional arrangements and planning paradigms can translate digital and design solutions into equitable and effective climate action. It investigates how climate action is reflected in local urban planning, drawing insights from cities committed to global climate agreements. By integrating computational tools, bioclimatic design, and multilevel governance, the book provides a holistic framework for addressing urban heat challenges.It is an essential resource for urban planners, climate researchers, and policymakers seeking forward-looking, inclusive, and technologically informed strategies for building heat-ready cities in a warming world.

“In Algorithmic Urbanism for Climate Resilience, Tan Yigitcanlar brings together AI, green infrastructure, and policy in ways that speak directly to today’s urban challenges. Drawing on his long-standing leadership in urban technology and sustainability, the book offers clear ideas and practical guidance for planners and policymakers working to create more equitable, heat-ready cities.”Professor Thomas Sanchez, Texas A&M University, USA“This must-read, groundbreaking book integrates artificial intelligence, green infrastructure planning, and policy innovation to tackle the escalating challenge of urban heat. Spanning AI-driven climate mapping, nature-based cooling strategies, and global governance frameworks, it offers evidence-based pathways for building equitable and heat-resilient cities across diverse socio-spatial contexts.”Professor Yuan Lai, Tsinghua University, China“This book provides a timely, integrated framework for urban heat resilience under the new idea of algorithmic urbanism for climate resilience. It synthesises AI-enabled heat mapping, optimisation-enhanced green infrastructure planning, and governance mechanisms that translate analytical insights into policy and practice. Its interdisciplinary approach and practice-oriented case studies enhance both methodological rigor and real-world applicability, supporting targeted, equity-centred interventions across interconnected urban socio-ecological-technological systems.”Professor Steven Jige Quan, Seoul National University, South Korea“Professor Yigitcanlar’s Algorithmic Urbanism for Climate Resilience is a ground-breaking synthesis of AI, green infrastructure, and policy innovation. This book equips planners and researchers with the tools needed to combat urban heat and provides a scalable roadmap for heat-ready cities. This book is an indispensable resource for scholars striving for urban climate resilience.”Professor Yanjie Fu, Arizona State University, USA
