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 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 …

Urban green spaces are considered an appropriate way to reduce urban heat island effects
and provide comfort to the nearby occupants. In addition to cooling the actual space, urban …

Importance Recent studies indicate that living near more green space may support mental
and general health and may also prevent depression. However, most studies are cross …

Global warming and rapid urbanization have exacerbated the urban heat island effect.
Urban parks contribute to alleviating such an effect and achieving the “carbon emission …

The role of urban green space (UGS) in mitigating the urban heat island (UHI) effect has
been demonstrated in a growing body of literature. However, the potential influence of the …

Urban heat islands (UHI) in a city tend to vary with changes in time and space. To effectively
cope with the accelerating intensity of UHI due to global warming and the resulting damage …

The population explosion continually witnessed in urban areas results in more impenetrable
surfaces like built structures and roads. Rapid urbanization increases air temperature and …

A few recent studies revealed that the intensity of UHI is increasing in medium-class cities
due to the rapid degradation of natural vegetation covers. This study explores the patch …

Green space (GS) plays a crucial role in reducing the urban heat island (UHI) effect and
helps in mitigating climate change. In Indian cities, GS are highly vulnerable due to rapid …
