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 …

Urban green spaces are considered an appropriate way to reduce urban heat island effects
and provide comfort to the nearby occupants. In addition to cooling the actual space, urban …

The Urban heat island (UHI) effect is an increasingly serious problem in urban areas.
Information on the driving forces of intra-urban temperature variation is crucial for …

Urban heat island (UHI) has become an urban eco-environmental problem globally. Land
surface temperature (LST) is widely used to quantify UHI. This study used Shenzhen, a …

The urban heat island (UHI) effect is becoming more of a concern with the accelerated
process of urbanization. However, few studies have examined the effect of urban form on …

Urban greenspace has significant cooling effects on urban heat. Recent studies
investigating the effects of spatial configuration of greenspace show significant, but …

This chapter is aimed at analyzing a review of the empirical literature on some important
features of urban green spaces such as the components, functions, services, community …

Urban greening is increasingly viewed by cities worldwide as an effective measure to
mitigate adverse impacts of urban heat island (UHI) effect. Despite the recognition of the …

Urban heat island (UHI), the phenomenon that urban areas experience higher temperatures
compared to their surrounding rural areas, has significant socioeconomic and environmental …

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