ABSTRACT = {The adaptation of public spaces to episodes of intense heat is now a major 
challenge for cities. With this in mind, this article presents a contribution aimed at 
delineating and handling the shadows on the ground or in a horizontal plane at a given 
height, whether it comes from buildings, street furniture or the tree cover. After a comparison 
with shadows obtained via two reference tools, we present two urban sites that mix shadows 
of different origins and, in addition, different indicators. The results of the simulations are 
compared with pyranometric surveys carried out on site. The aim of these indicators is to 
assist urban designers with solutions that make it possible to distinguish the respective 
shadow contributions, their annual evolution and potential spatial or temporal continuities.},
