Urban landscapes significantly affect land surface temperature (LST) and are considered
crucial factors affecting urban heat island (UHI). The impacts of urban landscapes on LST …

The process of urbanization continuously transforms cities and therefore, their urban
morphology as a need to adapt to the environmental changes. In Europe, the focus is shifted …

Spatial pattern of built-up areas can exert an important influence on surface urban heat
islands (SUHIs). While previous studies relied heavily on landscape indicators to …

The urban thermal environment constitutes a significant aspect of the urban physical
environment and warrants consideration in urban planning. Nonetheless, the nonlinear …

Numerous studies on reducing the urban heat island effect have concentrated on isolated
cold islands, analyzing their cooling impact in terms of size and shape. From an international …

An easily applied and efficiently exploited approach was proposed for the prediction of inter-
and intra-annual land surface temperature (LST) in a city's central zone. Chengdu is chosen …

The escalating prevalence of extreme heat events has intensified scholarly interest in
understanding the nexus between urban built environments and extreme heat. This study …

Under global warming, surface urban heat islands (SUHI) threaten human health and urban
ecosystems. However, scant research focused on exploring the complex associations …

Rapid urbanization has led to a significant increase in carbon emissions (CES), adversely
affecting the urban ecological environment. As fundamental units in urban planning and …

To better investigate the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, a standardized framework known as
Local Climate Zones (LCZ) has been developed and widely applied to numerous cities …
