Emergence of Urban Heat Traps from the Intersection of Human Mobility and Heat Hazard Exposure in Cities [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Understanding the relationship between spatial structures of cities and environmental hazard exposures (such as urban heat) is essential for urban health and sustainability planning. However, a critical knowledge gap exists in terms of the extent to which socio-spatial networks shaped by human mobility exacerbate or alleviate urban heat exposures of ...
