The importance of urban green spaces in the development of smart cities

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
In the era of modernization, urban green spaces (UGSs) are attracting increasing attention in smart city (SC) development. There is currently a paucity of UGSs, and their importance has become crucial in enhancing life expectancy and health.

Cooling Effect of Urban Blue and Green Spaces: A Case Study of Changsha, China

open access: yesInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2023
The cooling effects of blue–green spaces on the urban heat island effect are complex and different. The purpose of this study is to simulate how the cooling effect of blue–green space changes with its size and shape.

Quantification of the Cooling Effect and Cooling Distance of Urban Green Spaces Based on Their Vegetation Structure and Size as a Basis for Management Tools for Mitigating Urban Climate

open access: yesSustainability, 2023
The urban climate is receiving increased attention mainly due to climate change. There are several ways to mitigate the urban climate, but green spaces have an advantage over other cooling systems because, in addition to their climate function, they ...

Assessing the role of urban green spaces for human well-being: a systematic review

open access: yesGeoJournal, 2021
Human has been evolving in a natural environment over a long time; thus, he is habitual to adapt it. Green spaces are obligatory landscapes in an urban structure that provide a natural environment and accelerate other life events.

Planning of Urban Green Spaces: An Ecological Perspective on Human Benefits

open access: yesLand, 2021
In the context of urban land-use growth and the consequent impacts on the environment, green spaces provide ecosystem services for human health. The ecosystem services concept synthesises human–environmental interactions through a series of combined ...

Parks Under Stress: Air Temperature Regulation of Urban Green Spaces Under Conditions of Drought and Summer Heat

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
In times of urbanization and climate change, urban green spaces and their ecosystem services are pivotal for adapting to extreme weather events such as heat and drought. But what happens to the provision of ecosystem services when green spaces themselves

The Cooling Effect of Urban Green Spaces in Metacities: A Case Study of Beijing, China's Capital

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Urban green spaces have many vital ecosystem services such as air cleaning, noise reduction, and carbon sequestration. Amid these great benefits from urban green spaces, the cooling effects via shading and evapotranspiration can mitigate the urban heat ...
