Variations of Urban Thermal Risk with Local Climate Zones

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2023
Due to the differences in land cover and natural surroundings within cities, residents in various regions face different thermal risks. Therefore, this study combined multi-source data to analyze the relationship between urban heat risk and local climate zones (LCZ).

How relevant are local climate zones and urban climate zones for urban climate research? Dijon (France) as a case study [PDF]

Urban Climate, 2018
Several typologies of urban surface properties have been proposed, in recent years, for urban heat island studies and climate modeling. Some were specifically developed for cities and urban climate issues, like the Urban Climate Zones, and the more recent Local Climate Zones.

A Literature Survey of Local Climate Zone Classification: Status, Application, and Prospect

Buildings, 2022
Rapid urban expansion and climate change have prompted further investigations into urban thermal climates and the development of local climate zone (LCZ) classification systems. LCZs, proposed 10 years ago, comprise a new and systematic classification of
