周西林教授の研究室は、都市環境と公衆衛生の交差点に焦点を当て、都市の洪水管理や熱ストレス、高血圧の都市的要因を統合的に分析しています。特に中国のスponge city（吸水都市）政策の実効性や、都市ヒートアイランド効果が人々の健康に与える影響を、気候変動に配慮した都市計画の視点から研究しています。また、都市空間における快適性と健康の関連性を、実測データとアンケート調査を組み合わせた多角的アプローチで解明しています。

Urban flooding is a major problem for large cities around the world. Rapid urbanization in China has tremendously increased, resulting in more frequent incidences of urban flooding. In 2013, China launched a program of 30 pilot sponge cities (SPCs) to establish integrated urban stormwater management. However, today, after several years of implementation, some sponge cities still experience flooding. This study provides answers and solutions to these problems, by evaluating the overall performanc
To date, studies of outdoor thermal comfort (OTC) have focused primarily on physical factors, tending to overlook the relevance of individual adaptation to microclimate parameters through psychological and physiological behaviors. These adaptations can significantly affect the use of urban and outdoor spaces. The study presented here investigated these issues, with a view to aiding sustainable urban development. Measurements of OTC were taken at a university campus and in urban spaces. Simultane
This paper studies the correlation between built environment factors and the prevalence of hypertension in Wuhan, a typical city in central China. Data were obtained from a regional epidemiological database, which is the 2015 Epidemiological Survey of people under 65 years in 144 communities. The prevalence of hypertension was analyzed in five components based on the WHO framework (land use, transport, accessibility, green space, and socioeconomic status). Results indicated built environment fac
