PUBLIC STUDY / 03 SCENARIOS / FICTIONAL DATA
Heat belongs
to everyone.
A neighborhood is not an average. Compare where shade lands, which blocks cool first, and who remains exposed.
01 / SPATIAL MODEL
Lift the cooler
blocks into view.
The height of each cell represents cooling benefit. Color represents surface temperature. This is illustrative interface data, not a planning forecast.
COMPARE INTERVENTION
CURRENT / The school block is 2.1° hotter than the modeled ward median.
02 / CONSEQUENCE
Averages hide
the walk home.
Baseline field. No modeled cooling intervention is active.
The most useful scenario is not the one with the best ward average. It is the one that reduces the hottest everyday route without moving the burden to another block.
Equity note: The current field leaves the school and transit edge above the ward median.
| Scenario | Mean temp. | Shade | Hottest block |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current field | 37.8°C | 11% | School / 40.1°C |
| Tree corridors | 34.6°C | 28% | Market / 36.8°C |
| Cool roofs + trees | 32.9°C | 41% | Transit / 34.5°C |
03 / PUBLIC METHOD
What the field shows +
A procedural 7 × 6 block grid. Height is a normalized cooling benefit; color is an illustrative surface temperature. The adjacent table contains the same comparison without canvas.
What it does not claim +
No measurements, forecasts, addresses, or demographic records are used. This case study demonstrates interface behavior only and must not be used for planning decisions.
How it stays light +
No 3D library or asset download. Rendering uses one Canvas 2D context, capped device pixel ratio, fewer cells on narrow screens, and no perpetual loop.
