  8. ☀️ Albedo vs. Surface Temperature: Why a "Bright" City Isn't Always Cooler

    ❗ Key findings from the current stage of research:
    🔹 Vegetation (NDVI): Based on modeling results, biomass health accounted for approximately 40% of the variance in Calgary’s temperature regime in 2025.
    🔹 Albedo (Reflectance): While it is commonly assumed that high surface reflectance reduces heat absorption, satellite data (broadband shortwave albedo) reveals a far more nuanced picture.

    🔥 The Seton Anomaly
    The scatter plot clearly shows a wide distribution of values. The community of Seton is a particularly striking example: despite its high average albedo (likely due to light-colored soils at construction sites and new roofing materials), the area remains in a "heat zone" (classified as Warm Background in my model).

    ❗ Albedo plays a role, but it is not the dominant factor in Calgary’s environment.

  9. Autonomous mobility is more than technology — it’s a catalyst for urban transformation. Our new blog explores how driverless vehicles can reduce private car ownership, optimize street use, and support safer, more connected cities. Read the full piece: wix.to/QiO2BP6

  10. It is a common belief that higher elevations are naturally cooler. In pristine landscapes, this rule holds firm. But what about urban environments? Humanity moves vast amounts of matter and energy, sometimes fundamentally altering the thermodynamic parameters of our habitat.

    🛰️ I correlated summer Land Surface Temperature (LST) data across Calgary’s neighborhoods with the Canadian Medium-Resolution Digital Elevation Model (MRDEM). The chart below illustrates the relationship between "Average Elevation" and "Average Surface Temperature" specifically for established residential communities. As observed, this relationship is notably weak, even though a slight cooling trend persists. Based on my data analysis, elevation above sea level is not a key factor in cooling the city.

  12. Every time I see some player post a "Soviet Style city" on the Cities Skylines subreddits it always turns out to be an average European city with tons of greenery, parks and most things within walking distance.

    Apparently "Having trees mixed in between white square housing blocks" = "communist".

  13. 💻 I took several completely independent datasets and "pitted" them against each other. One of the results is shown in this chart: the more "concrete" (roads, buildings, parking lots) my machine learning model identified in a community, the higher the surface temperature recorded by the thermal sensor.

    🔥 The result: Data from different sources confirm one another. The difference in surface temperature between "green" and "concrete" residential areas averages 8–10°C throughout the summer. On certain days, this gap is likely even wider.

    📉 This chart shows only established residential communities. If industrial zones were included, the trend would be even more dramatic. While modeling errors certainly exist, the overall physical pattern is undeniable.

  15. 🌳 I am finalizing a tool that allows for a rapid and accurate assessment of the green infrastructure in any Calgary community. This isn't just "green color" on a map—my algorithm recognizes the differences in the quality and structure of the urban environment.

    What we can quantify right now:
    🔹 Lawn (Grasses, low shrubs): Open spaces that tend to dry out and heat up quickly during summer.
    🔹 Park (Sparse Canopy): Scattered groups of trees in parks and private yards.
    🔹 Forest (Dense Canopy): The "lungs" of a neighborhood, characterized by closed canopies and thick undergrowth. These areas provide vital protection against urban heat.

    ❗ Why does this matter?
    Using Inglewood as an example (see the chart), we can see that "dense forest" covers only about 5% of the area. This is a critical indicator of the territory's climate resilience.

  22. Approval for #Trump’s massive #EastWing #ballroom project – from a government commission that oversees planning for federal buildings & land in the nation’s capital – is delayed after it received over 32,000 comments from the public overwhelmingly opposing the construction.

  23. The remarkable speed with which the multi-million-dollar project has progressed has underscored an emboldened Trump’s personal interest in unveiling a finished #ballroom before the end of his second term, part of a broader effort to remake the White House & Washington to suit his style & taste.

    #law #historic #landmark #preservation #UShistory #CityPlanning #architecture #Trump

  24. Approval by the NCPC on Thursday would mean that any further attempt to halt construction would require intervention from the courts.

    The most serious legal challenge comes from a case brought by historical preservationists, who argue that #Trump needs congressional approval to carry out the construction. And there are already questions about the validity of Thursday’s NCPC vote.

    #law #historic #landmark #preservation #UShistory #CityPlanning #architecture

  25. That expected approval would come weeks after the Commission of Fine Arts, another federal agency where #Trump installed political allies, voted to approve the design & days after a federal judge rejected the nation’s top #historic #preservation group’s attempt to block it.

    #law #landmark #UShistory #CityPlanning #architecture

  26. Since returning to office, #Trump has stacked the 12-member commission with loyalists, & earlier this week, the NCPC executive director published a recommendation to “(approve) the preliminary & final site & building plans for the East Wing Modernization Project located on the grounds of the White House,” all but guaranteeing that the project will move forward.

    #law #historic #landmark #preservation #UShistory #CityPlanning #architecture

  27. Objections centering around the “Trumpification” of the White House & fears that the #ballroom represented “authoritarian self-aggrandizement” were a common theme among the tens of thousands of comments urging the commission to reject the plan. The much smaller number of comments in support of the construction cited the need for a larger & more modern space as reason for backing it.

    #law #historic #landmark #preservation #UShistory #CityPlanning #architecture #Trump

  28. The National Capital Planning Commission is expected to take a final vote today to approve plans for the #ballroom, marking the latest clearance for the project in a process that has been on a fast track since #Trump suddenly demolished the #EastWing last October. Approval by the NCPC would mean that any further attempt to halt construction would require intervention from the #courts.

    #law #historic #landmark #preservation #UShistory #CityPlanning #architecture

  29. Trump’s massive #EastWing #ballroom project is poised to get its final approval from a “government” [#Trump stacked] commission that oversees planning for federal buildings & land in the nation’s capital, despite receiving >32,000 public comments overwhelmingly opposing the construction.

  37. A city planning event on Wednesday (no link to actual event):

    The next event is this Wednesday in which Arvind Ramachandran will share his learnings from his residency and research in New York. He is an architect and urban designer interested in how power is spatialized in the city. During the 3 month residency co-hosted by the Finnish Cultural Institute in New York and The Cooper Union School of Architecture, Arvind explored how the megacity is built not just through masterplans and monumental projects, but also through the continuous and collective shaping of everyday spaces.

    Event details: Wednesday 21.1. 18-19.30, RaivioBumann office in Mechelininkatu 23.

  40. Induced demand isnt only a thing in public transport and city planning, i think.

    it seems to apply to other human societies and communities too.

    before creating a channel for selfies on my friendgroup discord (i know, but you try moving them over smh), nobody posted selfies. Before creating a channel for MMORPGs, nobody posted about their MMO game progress.
