Tree selection, courtyard form, and outdoor microclimatic comfort in hot-arid educational spaces: a multi-criteria decision framework

Frontiers in Built Environment
Outdoor spaces in hot-arid environments are frequently exposed to severe thermal stress, limiting their thermal usability and comfort. Urban vegetation can provide an important passive strategy for improving outdoor microclimatic conditions; however, its

Towards an integrated approach to evaluating biodiversity‐ and water‐sensitive urban design: A review of popular software tools

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 4, October–December 2026.
Globally, cities are recognising a need to design for biodiversity and water together—though current approaches typically design for them independently. Our review of 39 Water and Biodiversity Sensitive Urban Design (BSUD & WSUD) software‐based tools identified obstacles to collaboration associated with integration and interoperability.
