Upstream urbanization exacerbates urban heat island effects [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2009 Urban Heat Island (UHI) effects adversely impact weather, air quality, and climate. Previous studies have attributed UHI effects to localized, surface processes. Based on an observational and modeling study of an extreme UHI (heat wave) episode in the Baltimore metropolitan region, we find that upstream urbanization exacerbates UHI effects and that ...

Regionalist principles to reduce the urban heat island effect [PDF]
Architecture and the Built Environment, 2017 Scientists, climatologists, and urban planners have started to recognize the importance of nature at two very different scales: the global (metabolic) and the local (liveability) scales. The regional scale is the one at which these macro and micro approaches overlap.
