Abstract Urban Heat Island (UHI) and Heat Waves (HWs) are very important research topics
as they have a strong impact on society and their synergies are not enough understood …

Urban heat islands are evident throughout the world and may become more problematic in
temperate climates as global warming continues. This paper characterizes the urban heat …

The increasing rate of urbanization and continuous population growth in urban areas leads
to several problems, including the emergence of urban heat islands (UHI), defined as urban …

This research first developed a solution to convert LOD 2 CityGML files to LOD 1 files. Then,
by using LOD 1 files as geometric inputs, this study developed a python-based microclimate …

The rising probability of extremely high temperatures and an increasing number of
consecutive hot days caused by climate change—combined with the impact of these high …

The Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon, namely urban areas where the atmospheric
temperature is significantly higher than in the surrounding rural areas, is currently a very well …

Recent statistical reports highlight an accelerating phenomenon of radical urbanization, and
the forecasts estimate that within the next ten years, about 70% of the world's population will …

Cities are growing geographically in response to the enormous increase in urban
population; consequently, comprehending growth and environmental changes is critical for …

Recent challenges in the realm of urban studies concern better understanding of
microclimatic conditions. Changes in urban climate affect cities at local and global scales …
