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 …

Scientific contributions from remote sensing over the last fifty years have significantly
advanced our understanding of urban areas. Key contributions of urban remote sensing …

Heat waves (HWs) are among the most damaging climate extremes to human society.
Climate models consistently project that HW frequency, severity, and duration will increase …

Assessment of surface urban heat islands (SUHI) has been hampered by the lack of a
consistent framework to permit consistent interpretation between cities. Local Climate Zones …

The urban heat island (UHI), a common phenomenon in which surface temperatures are
higher in urban areas than in surrounding rural areas, represents one of the most significant …

Observing the rapid urban expansions and numerous infrastructure developments in the
East-Asian context, many cities are suffering the urban heat island (UHI) effect and its …

The urban heat island effect is especially significant in semi-arid climates, generating a
myriad of problems for large urban areas. Green space can mitigate warming, providing …

Abstract Architecture influences the design of urban landscapes and hence plays an
important role in the regulation of urban thermal environment. Studies on the correlation …

Abstract Urban Heat Islands (UHI) occur in and around cities, leading to warmer
temperatures than in surrounding rural areas. The UHI effect increases energy demand, air …

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 …
