Context-dependent relationships between street-level surface heat intensity, the sky view factor, and landscape patterns: Examples from the coastal city of Vancouver, Canada

Ecological Informatics
With climate change, some coastal urban regions once characterized by mild oceanic climates, are becoming increasingly hot in the summer. Urban design can modify urban landscapes to mitigate the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, but many strategies are ...

Reduced Urban Heat Island intensity under warmer conditions

Environmental Research Letters, 2018
The Urban Heat Island (UHI), the tendency for urban areas to be hotter than rural regions, represents a significant health concern in summer as urban populations are exposed to elevated temperatures.

CORRELATION ANALYSIS OF SURFACE TEMPERATURE OF ROOFTOPS, STREETSCAPES AND URBAN HEAT ISLAND EFFECT: CASE STUDY OF CENTRAL SYDNEY

Journal of Urban and Environmental Engineering, 2015
Cities are frequently experiencing artificial heat stress, known as the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. The UHI effect is commonly present in cities due to increased urbanization, where anthropogenic heat and human modifications have altered the ...

Continent‐wide parallel urban evolution of increased heat tolerance in a common moth

Evolutionary Applications
Urbanization and its urban‐heat‐island effect (UHI) have expanding footprints worldwide. The UHI means that urban habitats experience a higher mean and more frequent extreme high temperatures than rural habitats, impacting the ontogeny and resilience of ...

Application Of Coconut Waste As Green Roof Materials For The Reduction Of Urban Heat Island (UHI) [PDF]

, 2023
Urbanization's environmental repercussions are mostly due to pollution, atmospheric changes, and soil cover. These effects create the Urban Heat Island (UHI). UHIs contribute to the greenhouse effect, which causes global warming.

Impacts of Land Cover Change on Urban Heat Island (UHI) in Denver from 1985 to 2020 [PDF]

, 2023
Rapid urbanization due to land use and land cover change has become one of the major problems in the fastest-growing cities during the past few decades. Land surface temperature has changed dramatically due to urban expansion, and it is a major driver of
