The concentration of buildings, roads, and other infrastructure in urban areas can lead to higher temperatures, which can have negative impacts on human health and the environment. To mitigate the effects of the urban heat island effect and climate change more broadly, it is important to take ...
Multiple factors should be considered when designing mitigation measures in urban environments in order to maximise health benefits and avoid unintended negative effects.doi:10.1007/s40572-017-0150-3Clare HeavisideHelen MacintyreSotiris Vardoulakis
As a result, UHI can lead to a range of negative impacts, including increased energy consumption for cooling, heightened air pollution, and adverse health effects for residents. In order to mitigate the effects of UHI, various strategies can be implemented, ranging from the incorporation of green...
The Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon significantly affects us by exacerbating heat discomfort, increased energy consumption, and urban air pollution. The severity of UHI associated with heat waves and heat stress-related mortality is now one of the major concerns, particularly in densely populated ...
The urban heat island (UHI), the phenomenon of higher temperatures in urban land than the surrounding rural land, is commonly attributed to changes in biophysical properties of the land surface associated with urbanization. Here we provide evidence for a long-held hypothesis that the biogeochemical ...
However, despite the often very negative effects of the urban climate on tree growth, several studies worldwide found an enhanced urban tree growth compared to rural trees (see for example Pretzsch et al. (2017) and Searle et al. (2012)). The study of Pretzsch et al. (2017) included ...
Addressing these challenges could help bridge the gaps between urban districts, alleviating the negative impacts of varied UHII within the same city. Moreover, although the diverse building performances observed in this research in different urban zones are not solely attributed to UHI, the ...
Derivation of the characteristics of the Surface Urban Heat Island in the Greater Toronto area using thermal infrared remote sensing Urban heat islands (UHI) are a common phenomenon in most cities, and one of the most effective ways to mitigate UHI negative effects is with urban vegetati... C...
our analysis shows that climate change seems to enhance the growth of rural trees more than that of urban trees. The benefits of growing in an urban environment seem to outweigh known negative effects, however, accelerated growth may also mean more rapid ageing and shortened lifetime. Thus, cit...
