Evaluation of the Effect of Urban Redevelopment on Surface Urban Heat Islands [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2019 Climate change is a global challenge with multiple consequences. One of its impacts is the increase in heatwave frequency and intensity. The risk is higher for populations living in urban areas, where the highest temperatures are generally identified, due to the urban heat island effect.
