The Future of Climate-Resilient and Climate-Neutral City in the Temperate Climate Zone. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2022 The urban heat island (UHI) effect is the main problem regarding a city’s climate. It is the main adverse effect of urbanization and negatively affects human thermal comfort levels as defined by physiological equivalent temperature (PET) in the urban environment. Blue and green infrastructure (BGI) solutions may mitigate the UHI effect. First, however,
