Right Tree, Right Place for Optimum Urban Heat Mitigation 

The re-integration of trees into the urban landscape is a veritable strategy for urban climate mitigation and adaptation. However, dysfunctional trees in terms of urban heat mitigation are dominant in many cities’ landscapes due to the lack of scientific basis of tree selection. Assist. Prof. Morakinyo, from UCD School of Geography, presents a proposed and evaluated methodological framework as an approach for “right tree, right place” for urban heat mitigation.
