A collaboration developing since 2023
Professor Amir Ghaffarianhoseini has been collaborating with Professor Baojie He of Chongqing University since 2023. Their work connects shared interests in urban microclimate, outdoor thermal comfort and heat-resilient built environments.
Meeting in Chongqing
During a 2026 visit to Chongqing, Amir held high-level discussions with Professor He on opportunities for staff exchange and joint collaboration between their schools, alongside ongoing research and forthcoming joint publications. The meeting explored how their existing research relationship could support broader academic exchange and future collaboration.
Joint publications
Their published work includes two 2025 papers in Sustainable Cities and Society. Cool walkable and cyclable community planning for heat-resilient transportation system: An empirical analysis examines thermal comfort and heat risk along walking and cycling routes. Climate-driven transformations: A framework for the sustainable urban landscape system to enhance heat resilience develops a framework for heat-resilient urban landscapes. Both papers bring Amir and Professor He together with international co-authors.
