The urban heat island : causes and effects
, 2016 The Urban Heat Island Effect has become one of the world’s leading urban environmental issues of this century. Urbanization has increased concerns about the UHIE, especially in terms of human health and a healthy functioning urban environment. The UHIE results in significant and sometimes dramatic increase in air temperature change between the urban ...

Analysis of the micro Urban Heat Island effect
ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information SciencesAbstract. Urban areas worldwide are experiencing increase in temperatures due to urbanisation and, leading to the effect of Urban Heat Islands (UHIs), which threaten urban sustainability. Global research aims to identify UHIs and develop mitigation measures.
