Urban Biodiversity and Climate Change

2014
Urban 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, 1997
Urban-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.

Interactions of Man and Climate in the Urban World — The Influence of Urbanization on the Local Climate and the Influence of Urban Climate on Man

1997
Urbanization changes the local climate. It is useful in this regard to differentiate the development of cities from the construction of single houses or settlements in undisturbed areas. In this chapter, criteria for towns are given and the most important changes to the local climate due to their presence are presented.

Urban Climate and Urban Design

Due to climate change and urbanization, urban climate change is increasingly prominent with significantly environmental, economic, social, and health consequences. Addressing climate-related risks, threats and disasters in cities to a significant extent means creating resilient, healthy, safe and inclusive built environments. Such an assumption is much
