An increasing number of studies in recent years have investigated the relationship between
urban morphology and the urban heat island (UHI) effect in the context of global climate …

Intensive urbanization has led to the depletion of vegetation and its replacement by
impervious surfaces, resulting in the accumulation of thermal energy, with urban areas …

Although an increasing number of studies have explored how spatial morphology influences
the urban heat island (UHI) effect in different regions with the spatial regression methods …

Many empirical studies have examined the relationship between urban form and canopy
layer urban heat island (CUHI). However, these studies mostly have used small sample …

Visual pollution (VP) is a visual landscape quality issue, and its most consistently
recognized symptom is an excess of out of home advertising billboards (OOHb). However …

Large-eddy simulation (LES) is an optimal tool to examine aerosol particle concentrations in
detail within urban neighbourhoods. The concentrations are a complex result of local …

In this study, we identified the urban environmental factors affecting the nighttime heat index
(NHI), which has policy implications for improving the urban thermal environment using …

Paucity of information on Urban Canopy Parameters (UCPs) is considered as one of the
major reason behind limited urban climate research and modelling in developing region of …

In urban land use optimization problems, different conflicting objectives are applied. One of
the most significant goals in urban land use optimization problems is to maximize …

Highlights Urban 2-D and 3-D forms affect the built environment's adaptability to surface
