The urban heat island effect and city contiguity

Computers, Environment and Urban Systems, 2015
Abstract The spatial configuration of cities can affect how urban environments alter local energy balances. Previous studies have reached the paradoxical conclusions that both sprawling and high-density urban development can amplify urban heat island intensities, which has prevented consensus on how best to mitigate the urban heat island effect via ...

Influence of urban expansion on the urban heat island effect in Shanghai

International Journal of Geographical Information Science, 2016
The urban heat island UHI effect resulting from rapid urbanization is attracting increasing attention among the global scientific community. This research analyzed the relationship between urban expansion and the UHI effect utilizing an integrated approach, including urban land interpretation and retrieving land surface temperature based on remote ...

Construction of a cold island network for the urban heat island effect mitigation

Science of The Total Environment
The 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 island networks.

Urban heat island effect: A systematic review of spatio-temporal factors, data, methods, and mitigation measures

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 2018
Despite research on urban heat island (UHI) effect has increased exponentially over the last few decades, a systematic review of factors contributing to UHI effect has scarcely been reported in the literature.

Urban heat island effect-related mortality under extreme heat and non-extreme heat scenarios: A 2010-2019 case study in Hong Kong.

Science of the Total Environment, 2022
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 ...

The urban heat island effect decreases bird diversity in Chinese cities.

Science of the Total Environment, 2023
The audiovisual experience of observing birds in cities provides numerous benefits to residents, but their diversity is endangered by urbanization. Although the magnitude of the surface urban heat island effect (hereafter SUHI) has grown in recent years,

Variance of the impact of urban green space on the urban heat island effect among different urban functional zones: A case study in Wuhan

Urban Forestry & Urban Greening, 2021
The urban heat island effect (UHI) is frequently observed in cities, and is associated with environmental effects. Urban green space (UGS) has been shown to play an important role in mitigating the UHI.
