Despite research on urban heat island (UHI) effect has increased exponentially over the last
few decades, a systematic review of factors contributing to UHI effect has scarcely been …

Urban villages are typical informal settlements in Chinese cities where rural villages were
gradually surrounded by urban built environments during urbanisation. In the era of urban …

Understanding the patterns and possible causes of urban heat islands (UHI) effect due to
urbanisation-induced anthropogenic activities is an important area in urban climatic …

Urban geometry influences urban microclimate by changing both radiation and ventilation
processes. Full-scale experiments provide significant information on urban microclimate but …

Evidence of temperature moderation through green infrastructure has been largely
documented and quantified by literature; however, the critique of available methods and …

The re-integration of trees into the urban landscape is a veritable strategy for urban climate
mitigation and adaptation. However, dysfunctional trees in terms of urban heat mitigation are …

Previous studies of the effects of regional climate conditions on urban heat islands (UHIs)
focused mostly on surface UHIs, whereas few considered canopy layer UHIs. In the present …

This study aims to assess the impact of neighborhood-scale urban heat island (UHI) on the
energy performance of buildings. Hourly air temperature and relative humidity were …

The urban thermal and wind environment (UTWE) has become a major concern in urban
planning design. Consideration of the UTWE involves steps of modelling, assessment, and …

The urban heat island (UHI) effect exacerbates the adverse impact of heat on human health.
However, while the UHI effect is further intensified during extreme heat events, prior studies …
