Urban green spaces (UGS) are effective mitigations to excessive urban heat. Landscape
metrics (LMs) have been widely used to assess how UGS configuration, ie, edge and area …

The urban heat island (UHI) effect is intensifying with increasing urbanization. As an
important representation of the UHI effect and the urban thermal environment, it is critical to …

Intense and rapid urbanization is accompanied by expansion, with both planar and height
changes in the urban landscape influencing urban energy consumption, local climate, and …

Excessive heat in urban areas affects thermal comfort and livability. In order to improve local
thermal environment, correlations patterns between urban features and land surface …

Numerous studies have explored multiple factors that affect the urban thermal environment.
Most current studies focus on establishing the holistic quantitative relationships between the …

Multiple factors regulate urban land surface temperature (LST), including land cover,
climate, and urban form, among which urban form is now receiving more and more attention …

Optimizing the urban spatial form to mitigate the urban heat island (UHI) effect is considered
an efficient technical approach. This study focused on district-scale UHIs in typical high …

Summer increasingly gets hotter, which has become a common problem that threats human
settlement environment and hinders urban sustainable development. The impacts of urban …

Rapid urbanization has altered the environment and climate, necessitating a thorough grasp
of urban thermal dynamics for sustainable development. The lack of detailed urban …

Numerous researches have been conducted on the impacts of urban thermal environmental
factors on land surface temperature (LST) variations. However, few have comprehensive …
