14.2 Pilot Areas Identification Methodology
The pilot areas in Prague were selected with the aim to enable the simulation of UHI
mitigation strategies in different scales.
For the scale of a street canyon the Legerova street was selected, representing
one of the streets with a very high traffic volume crossing the residential area.
For the Pilot Area 2 was chosen the brownfield Bubny – Holešovice, an abandoned railway area, which aspires to be a new city quarter. Microclimatic simulations were performed for the central part measuring 500 m by 500 m.
The Pilot Area 3 as the whole territory of Prague has been chosen to enable simulations of the mitigation effects as a green belt around Prague or traffic emission
reduction in all Prague agglomeration.
