Editorial: Urban Heat Island (UHI) and its Mitigation through Urban Planning, Design, and Landscaping

, 2019
The most significant thermal phenomenon of a city in relation to the climate is urban heat island (UHI). The UHI intensity is the temperature difference between an urban and a rural site under the same climate conditions.

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 ...

Evaluation of albedo enhancement to mitigate impacts of urban heat island in Rome (Italy) using WRF meteorological model

, 2016
Many studies explain impacts of urban heat island (UHI) on energy consumption, air quality, and human health. Since the impact of UHI is detrimental, many researchers have been proposing solutions to weaken the UHI.

Urban heat islands in China enhanced by haze pollution

Nature Communications, 2016
The impact of locally-sourced aerosols on the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect has been difficult to quantify due to opposing long and shortwave radiation effects.

Modelling and observing urban climate in the Netherlands [PDF]

, 2010
Volgens de klimaatscenario’s van het KNMI uit 2006 zal de gemiddelde temperatuur in Nederland in de komende decennia verder stijgen. Hittegolven zullen naar verwachting vaker voorkomen en de intensiteit van met name zomerse buien kan toenemen.
