Impacts of sub-daily rapid temperature drops on winter outdoor thermal comfort under climate change
As climate change progresses, extreme heat and cold events are well documented. However, the sub-daily rapid temperature drop (RTD), characterized by a fast ambient temperature decrease within hours, remains understudied especially in subtropical regions where local residents are less adapted to cold, despite its significant impacts on human thermal comfort and health. This study examines wintertime RTD events in Hong Kong, inspecting the extreme…
All-cause and cause-specific hospitalization rates among temporary and permanent residents living in Canada
Observed ASHR differences between TRs and PRs, and among those with immigration status transitions and within specific migration categories, may be related to selection criteria by migrant stream, differential access to healthcare resources, preventive health behaviours, and different exposures influencing health needs. Additional research on characteristics associated with migrant health can inform post-arrival health planning and continuity of …
Designing breezeways to enhance wind environments in high-density cities
How to quantify the cooling effects of green infrastructure strategies from a spatio-temporal perspective
How does the visual environment influence pedestrian physiological stress? Evidence from high-density cities using ambulatory technology and spatial machine learning
Mental health and neurocognitive disorder–related hospitalization rates in immigrants and Canadian-born population
Differences in hospitalization rates among immigrants from various immigration streams and world regions, particularly for specific types of mental health conditions, highlight the importance of future research that incorporates both inpatient and outpatient mental health services to further understand these relationships
To what extent can urban ventilation features cool a compact built-up environment during a prolonged heatwave? A mesoscale numerical modelling study for Hong Kong
Isovist indicators as a means to relieve pedestrian psycho-physiological stress in Hong Kong
The creation of a psychologically friendly outdoor environment has important quality-of-life implications for urban residents who live in cities with extremely high population density, such as Hong Kong. Prospect Refuge Theory is the most widely recognized theory that explains environmental emotional influence by referring to urban planning and architecture, and it can be quantified by applying isovist indicators. We aim to (a) conduct field meas…
Predicting long-term monthly electricity demand under future climatic and socioeconomic changes using data-driven methods
A Multiscale Land Use Regression Approach for Estimating Intraurban Spatial Variability of PM2.5 Concentration by Integrating Multisource Datasets
Poor air quality has been a major urban environmental issue in large high-density cities all over the world, and particularly in Asia, where the multiscale complex of pollution dispersal creates a high-level spatial variability of exposure level. Investigating such multiscale complexity and fine-scale spatial variability is challenging. In this study, we aim to tackle the challenge by focusing on PM2.5 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diam…
Cause-specific mortality attributable to cold and hot ambient temperatures in Hong Kong
Dry mist systems and its impact on thermal comfort for the tropics
Designing Urban Green Spaces for Older Adults in Asian Cities
Elderly populations in Asian countries are expected to increase rapidly in the next few decades. Older adults, particularly in high-density cities, spend a considerable amount of time in urban green spaces (UGSs). The World Health Organization noted that UGSs are key to improving the age-friendliness of neighborhoods. Thus, it is necessary to design UGSs for the promotion of healthy ageing to enhance preventive healthcare and relieve medical burd…

Fine-Scale Spatial Variability of Pedestrian-Level Particulate Matters in Compact Urban Commercial Districts in Hong Kong
Particulate matters (PM) at the pedestrian level significantly raises the health impacts in the compact urban environment of Hong Kong. A detailed investigation of the fine-scale spatial variation of pedestrian-level PM is necessary to assess the health risk to pedestrians in the outdoor environment. However, the collection of PM data is difficult in the compact urban environment of Hong Kong due to the limited amount of roadside monitoring stati…
Spatial Variability of Geriatric Depression Risk in a High-Density City
Previous studies found a relationship between geriatric depression and social deprivation. However, most studies did not include environmental factors in the statistical models, introducing a bias to estimate geriatric depression risk because the urban environment was found to have significant associations with mental health. We developed a cross-sectional study with a binomial logistic regression to examine the geriatric depression risk of a hig…

Primary Health Care Models Addressing Health Equity for Immigrants
Assessing the Sustainability of the Built Environment in Mountainous Rural Villages in Southwest China
Mountainous rural areas such as those in southwest China are developing rapidly. This requires scientific understanding and a framework for assessing the sustainability of the built environment that is suitable to such areas. At present, no such framework exists. This lack of assessment options has contributed to the unsustainable development of these areas, which has caused a series of environmental, social, and economic problems. This article a…
Differences between immigrants at various durations of residence and host population in all-cause mortality, Canada 1991-2006
We used data from the 1991-2006 Canadian Census Mortality and Cancer Follow-up Study to compare all-cause mortality for immigrants with that of the Canadian-born population. The study addressed two related questions. First, do immigrants have a mortality advantage over the Canadian-born? Second, if immigrants have a mortality advantage, does it persist as their duration of residence increases? The analysis fitted sex-stratified hazard regression …
The application of urban climatic mapping to the urban planning of high-density cities
Fertility among Recent Immigrant Women to Canada, 1991
Recent studies show that current fertility is higher for women who immigrated to Canada than for Canadian‐born women. This represents a reversal of the historical pattern that can perhaps be partly explained by the more pronounced decline of fertility among the Canadian‐born compared with the foreign‐born population and the higher proportion of Non‐Europeans among recent immigrants. Recent studies also provide support for the disruption hypothesi…

International migration and adverse birth outcomes
BACKGROUND: The literature on international migration and birth outcomes shows mixed results. This study examined whether low birth weight (LBW) and preterm birth differed between non-migrants and migrant subgroups, defined by race/ethnicity and world region of origin and destination. METHODS: A systematic review and meta-regression analyses were conducted using three-level logistic models to account for the heterogeneity between studies and betw…

Sky view factor analysis of street canyons and its implications for daytime intra‐urban air temperature differentials in high‐rise, high‐density urban areas of Hong Kong
Hong Kong is a high‐density sub‐tropical city with 7 million people living in an urban area of just over 260 km 2 . Tall and closely packed buildings are the common urban morphology. How the urban geometry influences the microclimate in summer daytime is a primary planning concern. The sky view factor (SVF) has been commonly used to indicate the impact of urban geometry on air temperature differences in cities. However, only limited discussions i…
