Mapping local climate zones and its applications at the global scale: A systematic review of the last decade of progress and trend

open access: yesUrban Climate
The concept of local climate zone (LCZ) was proposed in 2012 to meet the needs of refinement and standardization of urban climate research. As an important contribution of the World Urban Database and Access Portal Tool (WUDAPT), which is an initiative ...

Analyses of land surface temperature (LST) variability among local climate zones (LCZs) comparing Landsat-8 and ENVI-met model data

Sustainable Cities and Society, 2021
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.

Effect of Local Climate Zone (LCZ) classification on ozone chemical transport model simulations in Sao Paulo, Brazil

Urban Climate, 2019
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.

Investigating thermal behavior pattern (TBP) of local climatic zones (LCZs): A study on industrial cities of Asansol-Durgapur development area (ADDA), eastern India

Urban Climate, 2021
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.

Thermo-hygrometric characteristics of Local Climate Zones (LCZs) in the primary urban areas of north-eastern Romania investigated through multivariate tools

2023
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.

The potential of local climate zones maps as a heat stress assessment tool, supported by simulated air temperature data

open access: yesLandscape and Urban Planning, 2018
High population densities in cities and rapid urban growth increase the vulnerability of the urban environment to extreme weather events. Urban planning should account for these extreme events as efficiently as possible. One way is to locate hot spots in

Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis on Urban Heat Island Intensity Using the Local Climate Zone (LCZ) Schema: The Case Study of Athens

2023
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.

3D Local Climate Zone (LCZ) Modeling and Digital Twin Integration for Advanced Climate Resilience using AI

Local Climate Zones (LCZs) provide a standardized classification of urban morphology and climate interactions, yet traditional 2D representations lack spatial depth for comprehensive urban climate analysis. This research proposes an innovative approach that integrates urban remote sensing , AI-driven 3D modeling, and state-of-the-art Digital Twin ...

Estimation of Ecosystem Services (EESs) loss due to transformation of Local Climatic Zones (LCZs) in Sriniketan-Santiniketan Planning Area (SSPA)West Bengal, India

Sustainable Cities and Society, 2019
Abstract Accessing the impact of land use/land cover dynamics on the Ecosystem Service Values (ESVs) is necessary for sustainable development at regional and global scale. Estimation of changes in Ecosystem service value (ESV) in response to local climatic zones (LCZs) are performed using GIS technique and corresponding with the global value ...

How to classify microclimates more validly and finely? A novel method for mapping local climate zone (LCZ) on micro-scales

Sustainable Cities and Society
Global climate change and rapid urbanization are driving microclimate variations in urban areas, intensifying the formation of urban heat islands (UHIs) vulnerable to extreme weather. The local climate zone (LCZ) framework, using remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS), has advanced with the World Urban Database and Access Portal ...
