Urban heat island (UHI) intensity and magnitude estimations: A systematic literature review

Science of the Total Environment, 2021
The severity of urban heat islands (UHIs) is increasing due to global and urban climate change. The damage caused by UHIs is also increasing. To establish a plan to improve the deteriorating thermal environment in cities due to UHIs and to minimize the damage, further research is needed to accurately estimate and analyze the intensity and magnitude of ...

Understanding and Analysing the Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effect in Micro-Scale [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Social Ecology and Sustainable Development, 2019
The shortage of vegetation cover alongside urban structures and land hardscape in cities causes an artificial temperature increase in urban environments known as the urban heat island (UHI) effect. The artificial heat stress in cities has a particular threat for usability and health-safety of outdoor living in public space.

Nature-Based Solutions (NBSs) to Mitigate Urban Heat Island (UHI) Effects in Canadian Cities [PDF]

open access: yesBuildings, 2022
Canada is warming at double the rate of the global average caused in part to a fast-growing population and large land transformations, where urban surfaces contribute significantly to the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon.
