Urban heat island (UHI) intensity and magnitude estimations: A systematic literature review.
Science of the Total Environment, 2021The severity of urban heat islands (UHIs) is increasing due to global and urban climate change. The damage caused by UHIs is also increasing. To establish a plan to improve the deteriorating thermal environment in cities due to UHIs and to minimize the ...

Urban climates have existed ever since the first human settlements altered the natural environment thousands of years ago. During the first century ce, Pliny the Elder recorded anecdotal accounts about the differences between the air in ancient Rome and the air in rural surroundings.

The urban heat island (UHI) effect exacerbates the adverse impact of heat on human health. However, while the UHI effect is further intensified during extreme heat events, prior studies have rarely mapped the UHI effect during extreme heat events to ...

As global warming continues, we are facing another significant issue: the temperature increases during summer in urban areas due to a factor other than global warming. The urban heat island (UHI) is a phenomenon that occurs when the temperature in an urban area becomes higher than that in a suburban area. Moreover, as urbanization advances year by year,

Construction of a cold island network for the urban heat island effect mitigation.
Science of the Total EnvironmentThe urban heat island (UHI) effect seriously challenges sustainable urban development strategies and livability. Numerous studies have explored the UHI problem from the perspective of isolated blue and green patches, ignoring the overall function of cold
