The absence of vegetation in urban areas contributes to the establishment of the urban heat
island, markedly increasing thermal stress for residents, driving morbidity and mortality …

The severity of urban heat islands (UHIs) is increasing due to global and urban climate
change. The damage caused by UHIs is also increasing. To establish a plan to improve the …

The cooling effect of blue-green space has been recognized as a promising approach to
mitigate the urban heat island (UHI), while the quantitative role (threshold-size for cooling) is …

Observing the rapid urban expansions and numerous infrastructure developments in the
East-Asian context, many cities are suffering the urban heat island (UHI) effect and its …

Abstract The Urban Heat Island Effect (UHIE) is a widely recognised phenomenon that
profoundly affects the quality of life for urban citizens. Urban greenspace can help mitigate …

Greening is a useful mitigation strategy for planners mainly from a visual perspective. For
high-density urban living environment such as Hong Kong, urban greening helps cooling …

Urban areas will experience the greatest increases in temperature resulting from climate
change due to the urban heat island (UHI) effect. Urban greenspace mitigates the UHI and …

Due to urbanization, the urban heat island (UHI) effect has become a modern endemic
threat to human health and energy consumption, especially in compact urban areas with …

Urban green spaces can mitigate urban warming problems to some extent. However, the
cooling effect of plants differs spatially and temporally, and with plant features. To …

The purpose of this study was to determine the types and structures of small green spaces
(SGs) that effectively reduce air temperature in urban blocks. Six highly developed blocks in …
