Urban climate governance under the national government shadow: Evidence from Istanbul
Journal of Urban Affairs, 2021Studies that focus on different urban governance structures, especially unitary states and semi-authoritarian regimes, are still lacking in the urban climate governance literature.

Urban Climates and Urban Climate Modelling: An Introduction
1995In this chapter, an overview is given of flow over uniformly rough boundaries, with special applications to urban areas. We distinguish two different types of boundary layer flows typical for different meteorological situations, and with different applications in urban wind studies.

Nexus of Urban Climate and Urban Design
Cities are challenged by many problems, where problems related to urban climates are very critical. However, existing efforts in both academia and industries are not enough to close the gaps among urban climate science, mitigation and adaptation strategies, and planning and design practices. This pushes relevant stakeholders to deepen basic and appliedHe, Baojie +2 more

Urbanization is a major factor across Asia and the Pacific, and so the scope of this chapter is somewhat restricted. There is a focus on larger urban areas, as the small communities of rural areas are discussed in other chapters. The breadth of the topic of urbanization also means that reports by government agencies and NGOs (grey literature) are cited,

The Study on Urban Climate of Lanzhou
2006 IEEE International Symposium on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2006Based on the meteorological data sequence of Lanzhou city and circumjacent regions, and experimental data in urban area, data of climate factors were analyzed. The results are as follows: Temperature variation is divided into three stages in near 70 years; the early 1950's and the early 1980's are the jump points of Lanzhou urban climate during this ...

Urban heat island, urban climate maps and urban development policies and action plans
Environmental Technology & Innovation, 2019This paper aims at drawing attention to the deficiencies of urban heat island (UHI) mitigation strategies and urban climate maps (UCMs) towards practical implementations and efficient interventions in urban development policies and action plans (UDP/AP).

Urban Biodiversity and Climate Change
2014Urban biodiversity refers to the variety and variability among living organisms found in a city and the ecological systems in which they occur. Overall, urban biodiversity responds to a combination of biogeographic and anthropogenic factors, with a strong influence of the latter. In a rapidly urbanizing world under the pressing threat of climate change,

Biometeorological studies on urban climate
International Journal of Biometeorology, 1997Urban-biometeorology, i.e., biometeorological study on the urban climate is regarded as both old and/or new science. Studies on two topics are reviewed: the thermal or chemical impact of urban climate on human health, and the relation between urban climate and vegetation.
