Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Colorado at Denver, 2018.

In this research, I developed a method for analyzing how urban form affects urban microclimate and how planning and design policies shape urban form. I scrutinized the policies, contexts, and implementation procedures of urban redevelopment projects in two cities in the Denver metropolitan area. Both the Belmar (located in Lakewood, Colorado) and 29th Street Mall (located in Boulder, Colorado) projects were conventional indoor malls developed in the 1960s, that declined in the 1990s, and were redeveloped in the early 2000s to create mixed-use walkable urban centers. The zoning approaches (Belmar used Form-based code, 29th Street Mall used Euclidian), design guidelines, and local politics of these two projects were significantly different in ways that resulted in different built environments after redevelopment. My research aim is to explore how these differences can potentially impact urban climate systems with positive or negative influences on climate variables such as wind, ambient temperature and mean radiant temperature. My research answers two research questions: (1) to what extent are different zoning approaches (Euclidian and Form-based) capable of mitigating urban heat? (2) To what extent are planning contexts, including local politics, important in developing a climate responsive project? I found that a series of variables affected the process of planning and design in these sites. The findings show that the choices made in the development management affected the microclimate of both sites. The built form of Belmar is more effective in heat mitigation and creating a more comfortable temperature. Based on the results of both my microclimate simulations and the policy analysis, I identified five main themes in the development management of both sites that control microclimate outcomes and show why Belmar ultimately was a better project. These themes, which are also relevant for other environmental objectives, are: (1) urban vision, (2) land use and building form controls, (3) design guidelines, (4) public financing, and (5) condemnation/ownership factors. These five policy themes I have identified explain how a combination of context and choice variations affect the quality of built environments. Although many regulations did not intentionally address microclimate issues, elements that were considered for improving walkability contributed to heat mitigation as well. The simulation of policy and form variations showed that the built environment of Belmar has been more successful in mitigating urban heat. Conflicts and a complex planning history in Boulder led to a very slow and ineffective review process that created a less climate responsive built environment.
