Urban Ecology for Citizens and Planners, 2021
Cities often experience a climate phenomenon known as the urban heat island, where the built form, building materials, and lack of vegetation modify temperature, wind, rain, and humidity. Radiating heat from building materials, roads, and utilities form a dome of warm air where the transfer of heated air to and from building surfaces doesn’t allow for ...

Urban Climate, 2023
Cities respond to climate concerns mainly through climate action plans (CAPs). The IPCC Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) was the first report from the international climate body that gave worldwide attention to urban climate change.

Urban hydrological responses to climate change and urbanization in cold climates
Science of The Total Environment, 2022This study explores hydrological response of urban catchment in Southern Finland to climate change and urbanization. Process-based urban hydrological modelling and statistical analysis are applied to various urbanization and climate scenarios. Future changes in precipitation and temperature under Representative Concentration Pathways 4.5 and 8.5 (RCP4 ...

Urban Climate Imaginaries and Climate Urbanism
2020Urban climate imaginaries are narratives about cities of the present and future that define policy expectations in a political environment increasingly shaped by climate change. This chapter examines the urban climate imaginaries contained in the policy discourse of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

Urban Climate, 2021
Researchers have made immense progress in understanding the urban-induced microclimate by numerical modelling. It has been around two decades since urban canopy models now commonly employed in mesoscale atmospheric models for operational and applied ...

Since the 1990s, a burgeoning literature has emerged on the politics and governance of urban climate. It is now evident that urban responses to climate change involve a diverse range of actors as well as forms of agency that cross traditional boundaries, and which have diverse consequences for (dis)empowering different social groups. This book provides
