The urban heat island (UHI) effect has become an increasingly critical concern in cities worldwide. Numerical modeling is recognized as one of the most effective approaches for investigating the complex dynamics of UHI formation and for assessing the effectiveness of measures to mitigate under alternative urban development scenarios. In this study, the authors applied the Envimet model to evaluate the effectiveness of selected mitigation strategies in the Van Phu urban area in Hanoi, Vietnam. The simulated scenarios focused on enhancements in green infrastructure and the expansion of vegetated areas. The results revealed that infrastructure transformation and increased green space coverage significantly reduce UHI intensity while simultaneously improving thermal comfort for urban residents.
