Cooler Desert Cities - 2505

A groundbreaking progress report on the 'Cooler Desert Cities' project reveals design strategies that significantly contribute to low-emission, low-energy comfort in desert urban environments. The study, focusing on case analyses of El Bali (Fez, Morocco) and Tunis Medina (Tunisia), identifies key architectural and urban planning principles that enhance thermal comfort while reducing energy demands. These insights are crucial for developing the 'Cooler-Shaper Tool' (CST), a proposed tool aimed at guiding sustainable urban development in desert regions. The research integrates case study analysis with conference presentations, including a paper on the project's findings, to advance the field of low-energy urban design in arid climates.
