With the expansion of cities, the urban population explodes globally, and the thermal environment continues to deteriorate. The studies on urban microclimate have important implications for the construction of green communities and the sustainable development of cities. Various blue-green infrastructures (BGIs) in the urban ecosystem play an important role in regulating urban microclimate and human thermal comfort. This study investigated the current microclimate of a residential area (Chigang community, Guangzhou) under hot weather by carrying out field surveys. Subsequently, a model was established with ENVI-met to simulate the microclimate conditions under different BGIs scenarios. The results showed that adding water bodies can improve the thermal comfort of residential areas. The (...)
