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 ...

Digital twin-based system to support urban planners in mitigating the urban heat island (UHI) effect in Lahti [PDF]

The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect is a phenomenon where some urban areas experience higher temperatures than nearby rural regions. The effect is rapidly worsening as the population tends to move to city-centred areas and built-up environments expand ...
