As a result of the intense socio-economic activities in the city center, the phenomenon of Urban Heat Island (UHI) emerges as the city issue. The rapid increase of UHI intensity worsen the and climate change and is a challenge for Jakarta in realizing a sustainable city agenda. This study ...
解析 B。解析:文中提到“Moreover, green spaces help in reducing the urban heat island effect. By providing shade and evaporative cooling, they lower the temperature in urban areas, making them more comfortable.”,所以绿色空间通过提供遮荫和蒸发冷却来帮助减少城市热岛效应。
2001: Urban form and thermal efficiency: How the design of cities influences the urban heat island effect. Journal of American Planning Association, 67(2), 186-198.Stone, B.; Rodgers, M. Urban form and thermal efficiency: how the design of cities influences the urban heat island. // ...
The urban heat island (UHI), for example, is known as a local climate change characterized as the higher temperature in urban areas than in rural areas (Zhou, Bonafoni, Zhang, & Wang, 2018). UHI threatens the urban sustainability in many ways, including human health, energy consumption, ...

Urbanization and climate change are contributing to severe flooding globally, damaging infrastructure, disrupting economies, and undermining human well-being. Approaches to make cities more resilient to floods are emerging, notably with the design of flo
He noted that a street with tree cover can often be two to four degrees cooler than areas without it, and sometimes even more. "We know the heat islands that are created by cities can be really devastating for many, many populations," said Richardson. "Having tr...
Cities, then, are warmer than the surrounding rural areas, and together they produce a phenomenon known as the urban heat island. Heat islands develop best under particular conditions associated with light winds, but they can form almost any time. The precise configuration of a heat island ...
Place barrels or tanks of water, preferably black ones for maximum heat absorption, in the corners and along the north wall of the greenhouse. If you don’t have much space, even small jugs of water can help. Add brick or stone paths and edging. This not only adds thermal mass but als...
Building heat loads are found to correlate strongly with wind energy supply aggregated over large, cold regions. Moderate correlations are found elsewhere, except no correlation is found in some tropical islands and some small countries. Thus, wind energy in most climates can help to meet seasonal...
