Identification of Thermal Environment Networks in the Wanjiang Urban Agglomeration Based on MSPA and Circuit Theory

Land
With the acceleration of urbanization, the high density and intensity of urban construction and expansion have led to an exacerbation of the urban heat island (UHI) effect, which, in turn, contributes to global climate warming and severely impacts urban ...

Only in the Heat of the Moment? A Study of the Relationship between Weather and Mortality in Germany [PDF]

In this study we analyze the relationship between heat events and mortality in Germany. The main research questions are: Does heat lead to rising mortality and if yes, are the effects persistent or compensated for in the near future?

MINIMIZING THE URBAN HEAT ISLAND EFFECT THROUGH LANDSCAPING

Journal of Research in Architecture & Planning, 2001
Urban areas present distinctive micro climates. In the study of causes of the special climate in cities, it is reported that “The total transformation of natural landscape into houses, streets, squares, big public buildings, sky scrapers, and industrial installations has brought about changes in climate of large cities”.
