The relationship between built-up areas and the spatial development of the mean maximum urban heat island in Debrecen, Hungary [PDF]
The climate of built-up regions differs significantly from rural regions and the most important modifying effect of urbanization on local climate is the urban temperature excess, otherwise called the urban heat island (UHI).

Effects of Urban Redevelopment on Surface Urban Heat Island
Urban expansion and urban redevelopment can affect the surface urban heat island (SUHI) phenomenon, a major topic in the study of urban climates. The effects of urban expansion on SUHI have been studied by numerous researchers, while the effects of urban redevelopment remain unclear.
