How to quantify the cooling effects of green infrastructure strategies from a spatio-temporal perspective: Experience from a parametric study

•Proposed a systematic approach to quantify the cooling effects of green infrastructure (GI) strategies.•Proposed three indicators to assess the cooling effects from a spatio-temporal perspective.•Compared the cooling effects of seven GI strategies based on three GI typologies.•Investigated the impacts of urban morphology on the cooling provision of GI strategies.
