Overview

The study demonstrates how nature-based solutions reduce urban heat and flooding in Cidade Nova, suggesting effective urban resilience strategies.

Key Points

  • Results show a significant 38% increase in albedo, reducing urban heat island effects in the area.
  • Hydrological improvements include a 27% peak runoff volume drop, greatly mitigating flood risks for densely populated areas.
  • The integrated modification methodology effectively enhances both thermal and hydrological resilience in tropical city environments.
  • Green space expansion from 7.8% to 21% significantly improves urban connectivity and access to parks.
