With the doubling of urban population within the next two decades and the disproportionate
growth of megacities, it is critical to explore the synergism between urban heat and pollution …

Increasing urbanization and population growth have brought attention to urban
microclimates in recent years. The study on urban microclimate and its impact on the built …

The surface urban heat island (SUHI), which represents the difference of land surface
temperature (LST) in urban relativity to neighboring non-urban surfaces, is usually …

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 …

This study investigated monthly variations of surface urban heat island intensity (SUHII) and
the applicability of the local climate zones (LCZ) scheme for land surface temperature (LST) …

There is currently a lack of knowledge regarding the spatiotemporal variation of day and
night surface urban heat island intensity (SUHII) in the major cities of Bangladesh. These …

There is a growing demand for urban form optimization to mitigate urban heat island (UHI)
effect. Nevertheless, how UHI responds to various urban morphological patterns is still …

Urban climate is determined by a variety of factors, whose knowledge can help to attenuate
heat stress in the context of ongoing urbanization and climate change. We study the …

Performance-based planning (PBP) is designed to determine city planning standards based
on local activity characteristics; however, there have been few practical applications of this …

Climatic warming and urbanization have exacerbated urban heat island (UHI) effect
globally. Waterbodies have significant cooling effect while the current UHI mitigation …
