Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration, 2021 As a result of urbanization, natural surfaces are replaced by artificial surfaces that trap heatsuch as buildings, pavements and asphalt, so residential areas have higher temperature values than rural areas. This effect, defined as the urban heat island,

Redefining the urban heat island
, 2011 The effect of urban development on local thermal climate is ostensibly well documented in scientific literature. Since the nineteenth century, observations of “urban-rural” air temperature differences (ΔTu-r), or urban heat island magnitudes, have been reported for hundreds of cities worldwide.

Differences in the Intensity of Surface and Canopy-Layer Urban Heat Islands in Europe
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote SensingThe satellite-derived surface urban heat island is often not properly distinguished from the in situ derived canopy-layer urban heat island in the field of remote sensing of urban climates.

Spatio-temporal pattern of heat island in Shenzhen and its influencing factors [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesIn recent years, with the rapid expansion of global urbanization, large-scale human activities have changed the surface characteristics, which has significantly enhanced the urban heat island effect. Heat islands may lead to heatstroke, increasing health
