Dr Gergely Paulinyi DLA, Chairman and CEO of Paulinyi & Partners, has contributed an opinion piece to leading online business site Portfolio, analysing the role of real estate development in combating urban heatwaves. To ensure that our built environment remains liveable during increasingly hot summer months, cities need integrated urban development solutions that leverage both cutting-edge technology and natural assets.
As a contracted partner of the European Space Agency, we have developed HeatScape Resolve, a new simulation method that uses satellite-based Earth observation data to map the urban heat island effect. To provide inputs to the innovative new method, space-derived data are complemented by local measurements, providing accurate information to enhance our ability to respond effectively to heat. This revolutionary service is a simulation tool that, even in the early planning stages of projects, can offer recommendations for reducing the heat island effect, even at the neighbourhood level.
