The current process of urbanisation has led to modification in the built environment and thereby influenced the urban climate. While every urban area has a unique climate impact, developing cities in tropical regions are ever more affected by the global climate change scenario due to its inherent extreme climate characteristics. Also, the heat stress conditions in an urban environment have further increased due to inadequate climate consideration in the planning process. This is because climatic parameters are difficult to translate into development plans and policies, therefore they are rarely incorporated into the urban planning process. In line with the current climate change scenario, studies on regulating climate change simulants through urban planning are much needed to mitigate heat stress. Climate-sensitive planning parameters are needed to be adopted by the local governments in planning process. This study employs the spatial mapping approach—urban climatic maps to assist the planning process, taking the case of a tropical city of Bhopal, India. Using thermal load and cooling potential parameters, climate-sensitive areas are identified. The study suggests a way forward for climate-sensitive planning of cities where urban planning decisions are well informed by evidence through a robust process of spatial climate mapping and analytics.
