Open access<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The relocation of Indonesia\u2019s capital to Nusantara in East Kalimantan has raised concerns about microclimatic impacts resulting from proposed land use and land cover (LULC) changes. This study explored strategies to mitigate these impacts by using dynamical downscaling with the Weather Research and Forecasting model integrated with the urban canopy model (WRF-UCM). Numerical experiments at a 1 km spatial resolution were used to evaluate the impacts of green and mitigation strategies on the proposed master plan. In this process, five scenarios were analyzed, incorporating varying proportions of blue\u2013green spaces and modifications to building walls and roof albedos. Among them, scenario 5, with 65% blue\u2012green spaces, exhibited the highest cooling potential, reducing average urban surface temperatures by approximately 2 \u00b0C. In contrast, scenario 4, which allocated equal shares of built-up areas and mixed forests (50% each), achieved a more modest reduction of approximately 1 \u00b0C. The adoption of nature-based solutions and sustainable urban planning in Nusantara underscores the feasibility of climate-resilient urban development. This framework could inspire other cities worldwide, showcasing how urban growth can align with environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The second manuscript from Radyan Putra Pradana (D3) was accepted for publication in Climate journal.
