Algorithmic Urbanism for Climate Resilience: AI, Green Infrastructure, and Policy Innovation for Heat-Ready Cities

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of how artificial intelligence, 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 revolutionizing 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-optimized 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 clim
