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.
