Hangzhou is in the process of becoming a world-famous city known for its quality of life and advancement of environmental protection. This research evaluates how the city’s surrounding environment is affected by the development of urban wetlands. It is simulated upon the numerical model on an urban scale, with the full advantage of meteorological data and updated techniques related to RS (remote sensing), GIS (geographic information system), and meteorological numerical simulation. Results with figures and meteorological data show that urban wetlands in Hangzhou alleviate the urban heat island effect as well as high temperatures in summer, and significant economic benefits can also be derived from this environmental improvement.
