Policy and technology responses to increased temperatures in urban heat islands (UHIs)
are discussed in a variety of research; however, their interaction is overlooked and …

Urbanization is known as one of the most prominent global problems that alter the
atmosphere and land surface properties. The intensity of Urban Heat Island (UHI) …

Urban Heat Islands increase surface temperatures which impact the health and well-being
of urban populations. Radiative forcing is impacted by changes to the land surface …

The rapid development of urban areas can potentially alter hydro-meteorological fluxes and
lead to the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon. In this study, UHI intensity and its driving …

Urban heat is one of the most prominent challenges of urbanization. The nature of
extraordinarily spatially heterogeneous landscape in cities may provide nature-based …

This paper first focuses on the study of the relationship between the urban heat island (UHI)
and the selected physical variables (percentage of urban surface covers, Normalized …

To reduce the vulnerability of urban areas facing high temperatures, it is useful to develop
methods to obtain the urban heat island (UHI) intensity. However, it is hard to equip all cities …

Urban areas are vulnerable to intensive heatwave periods. In order to understand heat
stress in cities, the single-layer urban canopy model (SLUCM) coupled with the weather …

Summer heat waves are a significant public health threat in China. This paper took Wuhan
(one of the four hottest furnace cities in China) as an example to explore several strategies …

A city is a mixed ecosystem of nature, economy, and society and is simultaneously
transforming natural areas and adapting to nature. Urbanization causes the population to …
