Integrated Impacts of Urban Spatial Form on Thermal Environment and Zonal Regulation under the Perspective of Spatial Heterogeneity by Yan Jinlong, Yin Chaohui, An Zihao, Zhang Simin, Wen Qian, Chen Weiqiang

“…Finally, according to the MGWR regression coefficients of each indicator, the main urban area of Wuhan was divided into four types of impact zones, and the intensity and direction of the impact of indicators in different impact zones changed, which confirms the necessity of a zoning policy. 3D buildings form the dominant zone and the BD strong dominant zone are suggested to adjust the urban building form as the main goal, the percentage of water area and BD co-dominant zones are suggested to optimize the urban blue-green space as the main regulation goal to improve its cooling efficiency, and the integrated transition zone is suggested to synergistically optimize the 2D/3D urban spatial form. …”
