definitely lead to the increase of the temeprature in this area and contribute to the phenomenon of heat islands

none of the above analysis were able to incorporate.

Since the discussion whether to keep or remove the trees at Stadelhoferplatz emerged, we decided
to investigate both scenarios. One can clearly see, in both shadow range and solar radiation analysis,
that after removing the trees, the square becomes exposed to the sun radiation for almost whole day,
especially in warm periods of the year. This would definitely lead to the increase of the temperature in
this area and contribute to the phenomenon of heat islands in the city. However, there is a possibility
for the hot air to get cooled down due to the impact of the lake, which none of the above analysis were
able to incorporate.
