Heat islands are places in cities with significantly higher temperatures than more rural surrounding areas. This phenomenon, known as theheat island effect, occurs more intensely in places where greenspace has been converted to pavement and other human-made materials. These surfaces, such as roadways...

It is well-documented that people of color in the U.S. are disproportionately exposed to extreme urban heat. However, most studies have focused on large cities for one point in time, and less is known about how heat exposure changes over time in smaller cities. Here, we present a study ...
Evidence shows that these strategies effectively mitigate urban heat islands by cooling urban areas, enhancing biodiversity [81], and improving air quality [120]. Secondly, policymakers should invest in the development of robust heatwave early warning systems. Show abstract Green retrofitting of heritage...
In the eastern United States, southern species planted in northern urban areas as ornamental plants are expected to speed the process of tree migration to a rate of 1 km per year11. Trees planted in urban heat islands can slow the rate of warming, leading to more stable microclimate ...

A further consideration, that will considerably worsen future climates, particularly in London, is that of the urban heat island effect,5 which makes the centres of heavily built-up areas warmer than their hinterlands. Heat islands are very much influenced by: Download: Download full-size image ...
Titled Hot Heart, the project is based on an archipelago of heat-storing basins with the dual function of storing thermal energy and serving as a hub for recreational activities. The “islands” will also be home to tropical forests and ecosystems from around the world, giving the Finnish ...
Just as no-smoking zones were first trialed on airplanes and in hospitals but then grew to public parks and beaches, stadiums and 30 meter zones outside of any public building, so too will rationing, permissions and mandatory cutbacks be the new order of the day. Tobacco activists achieved ...
