Abstract

[This chapter presents an approach for estimating the cooling capacity provided by urban green infrastructures tailored to support urban planning. The method is based on the review of the literature to identify the functions of green infrastructures that are involved in providing cooling, and the components that determine those functions. The information is then combined to provide an overall assessment of the cooling capacity. The approach is applied to 50 different typologies of green infrastructures, which result from different combinations of components in different climatic regions. An illustrative case study in the city of Amsterdam show the applicability of the approach.]
