The effects of heat on human health are further exacer- bated by environmental, socioeconomic, demographic, physi- ological and behavioural factors. For instance, urban areas with high population density, limited green space, and exten- sive artificial impervious surfaces (AIS) can be warmer than...
UHI effect studies are increasingly important all over the world in terms of increased energy consumption, reduced air quality and effects on human health and mortality, are becoming more pressing as cities continue to grow and sprawl. Asphalt pavements are widely used as a necessity in urban ...
Sections ‘effects of climate change on urban air pollution’ and ‘effects of climate change on urban heat island’ focus on the effects above climate changes on UAP and UHI, respectively. Section ‘Effects of UAP and UHI on human health’ introduces the reader into recent results of UAP ...
We live on an urban planet with unprecedented human mobility. In this study, we collectively analyze ten large cities over densely populated Eastern China, and detect that mass people outflows during Spring Festival (SF) holiday significantly cool down u

The study aims to study the level of urbanization in terms of population density and land management and its effect on the intensity of the urban heat island of the city of Kuala Lumpur. The measurements for level of urbanization vary from country to another. Usually, national procedures ...
Urban areas experience the urban heat island (UHI) effect, which affects the thermal comfort and energy consumption of buildings. These consequences could vary depending on the socio-economic status of the neighbourhoods. Few studies have investigated how UHI affects socio-economically contrasting distri...
