Singapore is expected to see an increase of up to 3 degrees in air temperature in the future. Our future projections, based on the CMIP6 model and the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) 3-7.0, indicate significant warming by the end of the century. Additionally, this situation will be worsened by the urban heat island (UHI) effect, which raises urban temperatures, resulting in higher heat stress and diminishing the distances people feel comfortable commuting. We investigated the comfortable walking and biking durations for Singaporeans and projected these times in relation to the urban heat island (UHI) effect for the future. The map indicates that the area considered comfortably reachable may decrease by up to 40% over the next 50 years. Therefore, this interactive map aims to open a discussion to help decision-makers in designing cities that are more comfortable and climate-resilient by taking future climate dynamics into account.
