Mapping the relationship between urban form and CO2 emissions in three US cities using the Local Climate Zones (LCZ) framework

Journal of Environmental Management
Understanding the relationship between urban form and CO2 emissions is essential for developing mitigation measures. However, most studies so far have been limited to examining the urban form at the macro level. Existing studies have limitations, such as a lack of granularity and a standardized approach, and focus on a limited set of urban form ...

Classification of urban underlying surfaces in Beijing and its impact on summer high temperature and heat wave event

Atmospheric Science Letters
With analysis of local climate zone (LCZ) classification, approximately 52.0% of underlying surfaces in Beijing are covered by buildings with LCZ 5 (open midrise) accounting for the highest proportion, and LCZ D (low plants) is the most distributed among
