Dominance of Influencing Factors on Cooling Effect of Urban Parks in Different Climatic Regions. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2022 The enhancement of the park cooling effect (PCE) is one method used to alleviate the urban heat island (UHI). The cooling effect is affected by park factors; however, the importance of these factors in the case of the PCE is still unclear.
