Abstract Cool Pavements (CPs) can maintain a lower surface temperature than conventional
pavements and mitigate urban overheating. CPs decrease their heat gains by enhancing …

With the increase in climate-change-related hazardous events alongside population
concentration in urban centres, it is important to provide resilient cities with tools for …

Surface Urban heat island (SUHI) is a major adverse environmental consequence of
urbanization. Many algorithms measuring SUHI across varying spatial or temporal scales …

Urban heat island (UHI) effects and heat waves (HWs) increase, posing a threat to human
health and urban ecological systems. However, the synergistic mechanisms of UHI and HWs …

Urban development and population growth have resulted in several critical impacts on the
society, environment, and economy. One of the main impacts is the increase in temperature …

This study aims to identify urban forms that are prone to heat storage in the Tokyo Prefecture
in Japan. First, local climate zones (LCZ) were identified with 100 m pixel resolution using …

Urbanization has disrupted the energy balance of natural surfaces, leading to the formation
and intensification of urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon. Current research on the …

Climate change affects the lives of billions of urban residents worldwide. Amidst this
scenario, the urban heat island (UHI) exacerbates heat stress and worsens thermal …

Achieving the sustainable development goals puts new demands on land use/land cover
(LULC) forecasting and thermal environment improvement. Local climate zone (LCZ) …

Urbanization, population growth, and climate change have several impacts on the
environment including the extreme increase in temperature in urban areas, which is also …
