Mapping Local Climate Zones for a Worldwide Database of the Form and Function of Cities [PDF]
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2015 Progress in urban climate science is severely restricted by the lack of useful information that describes aspects of the form and function of cities at a detailed spatial resolution. To overcome this shortcoming we are initiating an international effort to develop the World Urban Database and Access Portal Tools (WUDAPT) to gather and disseminate this ...
