With the changes in global climate and rapid urbanization, identifying the contribution of
urban morphology to the thermal environment under different scenarios could be helpful in …

This study explores the spatial evolution and driving factors of cooling supply and demand
matching in blue-green spaces (BGSs) to alleviate urban heat island effects. Using Wuhan …

Rapid urbanization and the implementation of ecological civilization initiatives are
increasingly influencing regional ecosystems, necessitating a balance between urban …

The consequences of urban sprawl and densification are rising surface temperatures and
decreased ventilation, which trigger intense urban heat island (UHI) effects. Improving …

The scientific establishment of the Ecological Security Pattern (ESP) is crucial for fostering
the synergistic development of ecological and recreational functions, thereby enhancing …

Abstract Urban Ventilation Corridors (UVCs) have been shown to effectively mitigate the
urban heat island effect and enhance air quality. However, the simulation of large-scale …

This chapter begins by making a case for a distinction between mitigation (modifying the
physical hazard) and adaptation (behaviour change) in relation to heatwave risk reduction in …

Urbanization and extreme heat events exacerbate heat risks in new towns and rural areas
(NTRA), yet the expansion patterns and interaction mechanisms of urban heat islands …
