**Appendix A**

Here, the values for the SVF and the vegetation fraction are presented, which were used for the urban planning strategies shown in Tables A1 and A2. According to strategies C and D, only one characteristic, the SVF or fveg, was changed. The green corridor in strategy B has the urban characteristics of neighborhood 1, which allows it to meet the criteria of the building assignment.

For the CID strategy C, both the SVF and the fveg were changed for neighborhoods which became heavily urbanized in order to maintain realistic values. For instance, neighborhood 1 has urban characteristics similar to downtown Paris in strategy C [20].
