How to realize large-scale outdoor thermal comfort studies? A systematic review based on OTC characterization, methods and research trends

Frontiers in Sustainable Cities
IntroductionWith increasing urbanization, the frequency of extreme weather events, and the intensification of the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon, there is a growing concern about outdoor thermal comfort (OTC) in urban and rural spaces.

Urban Heat as a Development-Health Risk: Built-Environment Drivers of Physical Disease, Mental Well-Being and Climate-Responsive Planning

Urban Science
Although conventionally quantified as an urban–rural thermal anomaly, urban heat islands are systematic expressions of development choices that shape unequal exposures and health risks across cities.
