Cool Pavements for the Mitigation of Urban Heat Island (UHI): A Global Perspective
The human activities such as burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial processes, which release greenhouse gases (GHGs) such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere, are the primary drivers of climate change. As a consequence, the average surface temperature is continuously increasing.

Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effect in the Puget Sound Region: Adaptation and Biomimetic Strategies to Mitigate the Effects of Climate Change [PDF]
, 2012 Thesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2012Urban heat island (UHI) is a reverse oasis: where cities' air and surface temperatures are hotter than their rural surroundings. The reverse oasis can be seen in urban areas across the world. It can create

MODELING INFLUENCE OF URBAN SPRAWL ON URBAN HEAT ISLAND (UHI) ACTIVITY IN KOLAKA REGENCY
Indonesian Physical ReviewThe expansion of urban areas into rural regions, known as Urban Sprawl, contributes to the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon, where urban areas exhibit higher temperatures than their rural counterparts. Kolaka Regency is an area with significant potential for Urban Sprawl and subsequent UHI activity.
