Urban areas are characterized by very intense and complex interactions between built objects and natural elements, especially in terms of the impact they have on the local microclimate. One of the most important aspects of this interaction is the way in which vegetation influences incident solar radiation, which has a major impact on energy consumption, comfort and the overall sustainability of urban areas. In this study, we focus on the city of Zagreb, where we conduct a detailed analysis of the impact of urban v...
