LCZ Generator: online tool to create Local Climate Zone maps
2021<p>Since their introduction in 2012, Local Climate Zones (LCZs) emerged as a new standard for characterising urban landscapes, providing a holistic classification approach that takes into account micro-scale land-cover and associated physical properties. In 2015, as part of the community-based World Urban Database and Access Portal Tools (

The Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon commonly occurs in cities worldwide and may affect the health of millions of people, especially during heatwaves. To design and propose mitigation strategies, accurate urban microclimate simulation tools are needed but retrieving information for creating reliable models is often challenging.

Modeling the urban thermal environment distributions in Taipei Basin using Local Climate Zone (LCZ)
2017 Joint Urban Remote Sensing Event (JURSE), 2017This study aims to develop a model for predicting thermal distribution in cities based on urban development patterns. Featured by the process of urbanization and land use policy, built environments are varied in land cover, density, building height, and usage. This study applied the classification scheme of Local Climate Zones (LCZs) to categorize land

Climate, 2023 The Local Climate Zone (LCZ) classification system is used in this study to analyze the impacts of urban morphology on a surface urban heat island (SUHI). Our study involved a comparative analysis of SUHI effects in two Japanese cities, Sapporo and Hiroshima, between 2000 to 2022.

Journal of Environmental ManagementUnderstanding 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 ...

Abstract The acceleration of urbanization has caused the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon because it has changed the built and natural structure. In recent years, the common concept of a local climate zone (LCZ) has become the top priority for UHI studies for eliminating the lack of standardization.

Abstract The Metropolitan Area of Sao Paulo (MASP) is the 6th largest metropolitan area in the world. Mobile sources are responsible for the emissions of gaseous and particle involved in the formation of secondary pollutants, such as ozone, which is frequently in concentrations above air quality standards.

Abstract Local climatic zones (LCZs) is a comprehensive and micro level land use classification system originally developed to quantify the relation between urban heat island (UHI) and urban morphological pattern. Assessment thermal behavior pattern (TBP) of LCZ can contribute to quantify potential heat stress and health risks.

In this research, we outline the main thermo-hygrometric characteristics of local climate zones (LCZs) identified in four of the largest cities in north-eastern Romania (Iași, Bacău, Botoșani, and Suceava), which together have a population of over 1 million inhabitants.
