URBAN HEAT ISLAND (UHI), AIR POLLUTION, AND HUMAN HEALTH: A REVIEW

Sokoto Journal of Geographical Studies
Urbanization is accelerating globally, with more than 56% of the world’s population currently living in urban areas, a figure projected to reach nearly 70% by 2050. UHI is characterized by elevated urban temperatures relative to surrounding rural areas due to the prevalence of impervious surfaces, reduced vegetation cover, and anthropogenic heat ...

Cool façade optimization: A new parametric methodology for the urban heat island phenomenon (UHI)

2017 IEEE International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering and 2017 IEEE Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Europe (EEEIC / I&CPS Europe), 2017
In recent years, the urban climate has been progressively changing due to different causes that affect the environmental conditions. One consequence of this metamorphosis and the growing building density is known as the urban heat island (UHI) factor, which alters the quality of outdoor spaces due to the overheating of building surfaces.

Multiscale characterization the Urban Heat Island (UHI) of the city of Milan (Italy)

Milan is one of the largest, most industrialized and populated cities of Italy. It extends over more than 180 Km2, most of which are built or paved areas. The area is characterized by the perturbation of thermal regime known as Urban Heat Island (UHI), that is related to a variety of natural and anthropogenic factors.

The Impact of Urban Heat Island (UHI) Phenomenon on the Climate of Qatar

Rapid urbanisation can potentially raise the ambient surface temperatures in recently developed built-up areas of large cities due to what is known as the urban heat island (UHI) effect. The increasing temperature trends due to global warming further aggravates the UHI effects. Advanced statistical techniques were used aimed at assessing the UHI effect

Cooling trajectories in Commercial areas for Urban Heat Island (UHI) mitigation

Climate change and rising temperatures are established facts, forcing cities to face a reality to which they must adapt. "On June 28, 2019, a temperature of 45,9°C was recorded at a weather station in France, exceeding the country's previous temperature record; set during the infamous 2003 heatwave; by almost 2°C" (Mitchell, D & al. 2019).

Spatial variability and exposure to the urban heat island (UHI) in Hong Kong

2010
Hong Kong is a densely populated city where a significant proportion of the population lives in highly urbanised areas. During the summer months conditions in Hong Kong are generally hot and humid and can get quite oppressive, the added burden of the urban heat island (UHI) can intensify these conditions.
