1 Vulnerability of the city of Paris (France) to future heat waves: Impact of urban sprawl scenarios Aude Lemonsu 1, Vincent Viguié 2, Maxime Daniel 1, Valéry Masson 1 1 Météo-France / CNRS, Toulouse, France 2 Centre International de Recherche sur l Environnement et le Développement, Nogent sur Marne, France Toulouse France

2 Context and motivations extra deaths in France during 2003 heat wave 8,5% of excess mortality in Paris (= 3,7% of French population) Intensification of urban heat island and aggravation of health impacts UHI during a typical summer ΔT = 4 C UHI during 2003 heat wave ΔT = 8 C Paris Paris Toulouse France 2

3 Context and motivations In the future, heat waves will be more frequent, longer and more intense In 2100, Paris will be affected each year, on average, by: heat wave - 11 heat-wave days Maximum intensity ( C C) Projection of future heat waves over Paris region (A1B scenario) Lemonsu et al. 2014, Climate Research Heat-wave duration (days) Toulouse France 3

6 Objectives Study the interactions between climate change, urban climate, and urban expansion ANR VMCS 2008 Evaluate and compare different urban planning policies - Focus on heat wave conditions - Paris (France) as case study as time period of analysis Toulouse France 6 Urban areas Wooded areas Agricultural areas 30 km

7 Systemic modeling methodology Future heatwaves Urban expansion modeling with NEDUM-2D Urban climate modeling with TEB Vulnerability indicators UHI Heat stress Toulouse France 7

8 Long-term scenarios simulated with the land-use transport interaction model NEDUM-2D Macro-scale socio-economic constraints (energy cost, demography trends) Various local-scale urban planning policies SPREAD--OUT CITY SPREAD COMPACT CITY 2550 km² 1900 km² 20th 24th July 2015 Toulouse France GREEN CITY 10/30/50% 2800/3450/4300 km²

11 Sensitivity to urban heat island UHI ( C) = Urban Heat Island = T T rural(ref) F UHI (%) = Fraction of city affected by UHI P UHI (%) = Fraction of population affected by UHI Today Paris 7-days heat wave Tmax = 38 C 30 km At night, UHI centered over densely built-up areas At daytime, maximum temperatures over suburbs Toulouse France 11

13 Sensitivity of city and population to UHI Fraction of city affected 3-21 days heat wave Tmax = 38 C Night Day UHI threshold = 1.5K Fraction of population affected 3-21 days heat wave Tmax = 38 C Heat-wave duration (days) Night Heat-wave duration (days) Day Heat-wave duration (days) Toulouse France 13 Heat-wave duration (days)

14 Sensitivity to urban heat island Outdoor thermal comfort for population Universal thermal climate index (UTCI) Heat stress levels Very strong heat stress Strong heat stress Moderate heat stress No heat stress Toulouse France 14

15 Outdoorheat-stress conditions Number of hours per day spent in strong heat stress (UTCI>32 C) Computed for all modeled heat waves (all intensities/all durations) Weighted according to the occurrence probabilities of heat waves 12 hours / day Population (% %) 14 hours / day 16 hours / day REF Toulouse France 15

18 Conclusions Influence of choice of indicators in the evaluation Interest of multi-criteria and interdisciplinary evaluation Involvement of public stakeholders and urban planners Efficiency of spread-out cities compared to compact city in mitigating UHI and heat stress but increase in CO2 emissions due to transportation Efficiency of greening scenarios but crucial issue of water consumption and water resource management in urban environment Toulouse France 18
