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

Urban heat island analysis using the ‘local climate zone’ scheme in Presidente Prudente, Brazil
Investigaciones Geográficas, 2018 Although urban heat islands (UHIs) have been widely studied, a recent climate-based classification of urban and rural landscapes provides a new framework for UHI researchers.

Investigating surface UHI using local climate zones (LCZs), the case study of Cairo’s River Islands
Alexandria Engineering Journal, 2023 The spatial configuration of the built environment influences the thermal behaviour at the local level and may generate the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon. This impact has been investigated through several physical and climatological approaches. In this respect, the local climate zones (LCZs) scheme is recently adopted to facilitate the spatial ...
