URBAN RESILIENCE THROUGH GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE: MITIGATING THE URBAN HEAT ISLAND (UHI) EFFECT
Rapid urbanization has intensified the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect, leading to rising ambient temperatures, increased energy demand, and deteriorating thermal comfort in cities. This review explores the role of green infrastructure in addressing these challenges, emphasizing their effectiveness in mitigating urban heat island effect and in turn ...
