Task 4: Sustainable land use planning in face <strong>of</strong> climate change(sub-project 4, 1Apr 2013-31Jul 2014)An analysis <strong>of</strong> land cover/land use change and change intensity in Hong Kong and the PRD and itscontribution to UHI effects and aerosol distribution will be conducted. We will also investigate therelationships between urban heat island and urban structure, aerosol distribution and urban land use, andurban heat island and consumption <strong>of</strong> urban energy as well as carbon emissions as a result <strong>of</strong> anthropogenicactivities in the form <strong>of</strong> different land use options. Specifically, the Geographically and TemporallyWeighted Regression (GTWR) model will be used to study the relationship variations over both space andtime. Further, a multi-objective optimization model will be developed which accounts for objectives relatingto the afore-mentioned environmental variables, urban climate and other criteria, such as minimization <strong>of</strong>change, maximization <strong>of</strong> housing capacity, and maximization <strong>of</strong> green space, etc. A urban renewal area <strong>of</strong>old downtown will be selected to conduct a case study <strong>of</strong> the multi-objective optimization model fordeveloping sustainable design adaptation measures and planning strategies for policy makers and planners.<strong>The</strong> Study <strong>of</strong> Planning andManagement <strong>of</strong> Wuhan UrbanAir Path( 武 汉 市 城 市 风 道 规 划 管 理 研 究 )Co-PrincipalInvestigatorPlanning Bureau <strong>of</strong> Wuhan Government( 武 汉 市 国 土 资 源 和 规 划 局 )HK$180, 000Aug 2012 to Mar 2013本 项 目 将 研 究 风 环 境 相 关 的 理 论 , 城 市 下 垫 面 与 风 环 境 的 关 系 、 街 道 界 面 与 风 道 的 关 系 、 并 借 鉴 国 内 外的 研 究 案 例 , 提 出 武 汉 市 风 道 规 划 的 原 则 , 并 结 合 武 汉 市 气 象 条 件 , 确 定 风 道 网 络 的 空 间 结 构 和 总 体 布局 , 并 提 出 武 汉 市 风 道 建 设 控 制 指 引 。<strong>The</strong> 2nd stage <strong>of</strong> UrbanClimatic Map Study <strong>of</strong> MacauCo-PrincipalInvestigatorDSSOPT <strong>of</strong> Macau GovernmentHK$6,400,000Jul 2011 to Jul 2013<strong>The</strong> joint partnership research study aims to further understand and analysis the urban environmentaland climatic condition <strong>of</strong> Macau based on the findings <strong>of</strong> the first stage study. It focuses on the study <strong>of</strong>wind environment <strong>of</strong> Macau. <strong>The</strong> objectives <strong>of</strong> this stage <strong>of</strong> work are:(A) To assemble and collateexisting information data and to create an GIS information platform, (B) To conduct a meso-scalesimulation <strong>of</strong> wind environment by using MM5-CLMATE model, (C)To carry out a micro-scale CFDsimulation <strong>of</strong> new reclamation areas; (D)To expertly evaluate the existing condition and to get ancomprehensive understanding <strong>of</strong> Macau wind environment, (E) To understand the wind environment <strong>of</strong>new reclamation areas and to evaluate its master plan. <strong>The</strong> world-wide collaboration researchers arefrom Kassel <strong>University</strong>, Hannover <strong>University</strong>, Xian Jiaotong <strong>University</strong> and HKUST.Finished<strong>The</strong> Croucher Advanced StudyInstitute on Urban Climatologyfor Tropical and Sub-tropicalRegionsCo-PrincipalInvestigator<strong>The</strong> Croucher FoundationHKD 596,000.0001May 2011 to 10 Dec 2011we propose to have three inter-connected ASIs that will bring together scientists and practitioners,disseminate existing knowledge <strong>of</strong> tropical and sub-tropical climatic regions, and accelerate theexchange and research collaboration between overseas experts and local researchers, advancedpostgraduates, practitioners, designers and pr<strong>of</strong>essionals. We opine it is important to have a multidimensionalperspective to our inter-connected ASIs as a standalone event.ASI 1: Urban Climate forHuman Comfort; ASI 2: Urban Climate and Air Pollution; and ASI 3: Climate Change and Urban Design17/01/2013 Page 5 <strong>of</strong> 11
