With rapid urbanization, population growth and anthropogenic activities, an increasing
number of major cities across the globe are facing severe urban heat islands (UHI). UHI can …

Policy and technology responses to increased temperatures in urban heat islands (UHIs)
are discussed in a variety of research; however, their interaction is overlooked and …

Urban heat island (UHI) effects and heat waves (HWs) increase, posing a threat to human
health and urban ecological systems. However, the synergistic mechanisms of UHI and HWs …

Conflicts between urban expansion and urban heat islands (UHIs) are increasing markedly,
because of accelerated urbanization, and it is urgent to mitigate the UHI effect. In this study …

Urban parks are vital for mitigating urban heat, yet debate persists on whether local urban
heat features hinder or enhance park cooling effects. Therefore. We employed Google Earth …

Global and local climate change increases the occurrence and the magnitude of extreme
phenomena, as urban heat island and heat waves. These phenomena seriously affect the …

The global warming and urban heat island effect call for mitigation strategies for improving
thermal environments in open urban spaces. Radiant cooling can remove heat from the …

Increasing surface urban heat island (SUHI) has been reported to be closely associated with
a large number of environmental issues. The response of SUHI during heat wave was …

The building energy performance pattern is predicted to be shifted in the future due to
climate change. To analyze this phenomenon, there is an urgent need for reliable and …

Built-up areas with non-natural surface covers generate the urban heat island (UHI) effect.
To investigate this in greater spatial extensions, satellite data provide sufficient spatial …
