LCZ Generator: A Web Application to Create Local Climate Zone Maps [PDF]

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
Since their introduction in 2012, Local Climate Zones (LCZs) emerged as a new standard for characterizing urban landscapes, providing a holistic classification approach that takes into account micro-scale land-cover and associated physical properties. In 2015, as part of the community-based World Urban Database and Access Portal Tools (WUDAPT) project,

Predictive modeling the effect of Local Climate Zones (LCZ) on the urban meteorology in a tropical andean area

Modeling Earth Systems and Environment
The Weather Research & Forecasting Model (WRF, Version 4.4) was applied to simulate meteorological conditions in the city of Quito, Ecuador, located in a tropical Andean landscape. These simulations included the urban canopy into WRF, using the Building Environment Parameterization (BEP) scheme combined with Local Climate Zones (LCZ) land use ...

Estimating summertime heat stress in a tropical Indian city using Local Climate Zone (LCZ) framework

Urban Climate, 2021
Abstract The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report highlights the projected increase in heat wave (HW) frequency, intensity, and duration. Globally, HW events have caused massive deaths in the past. India has also experienced severe HWs and thousands have reportedly died during the past decade. The study uses the Local Climate Zone (

Self-Training Classification Framework with Spatial-Contextual Information for Local Climate Zones

Remote Sensing, 2019
Local climate zones (LCZ) have become a generic criterion for climate analysis among global cities, as they can describe not only the urban climate but also the morphology inside the city.

Modeling the urban thermal environment distributions in Taipei Basin using Local Climate Zone (LCZ)

2017 Joint Urban Remote Sensing Event (JURSE), 2017
This study aims to develop a model for predicting thermal distribution in cities based on urban development patterns. Featured by the process of urbanization and land use policy, built environments are varied in land cover, density, building height, and usage. This study applied the classification scheme of Local Climate Zones (LCZs) to categorize land

Mapping the relationship between urban form and CO2 emissions in three US cities using the Local Climate Zones (LCZ) framework

Journal of Environmental Management
Understanding the relationship between urban form and CO2 emissions is essential for developing mitigation measures. However, most studies so far have been limited to examining the urban form at the macro level. Existing studies have limitations, such as a lack of granularity and a standardized approach, and focus on a limited set of urban form ...
