How Urban Morphology Relates to the Urban Heat Island Effect: A Multi-Indicator Study
Sustainability, 2023 Urban morphology quantitatively expresses a city’s spatial structure, internal relationships, and physical form. It has advantages for predicting urban growth and analyzing the current state of cities in the literature.

Diurnal Air–Surface Temperature Dynamics in Hong Kong: An Analysis Across Land Use and Climate Zones
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Daytime and nighttime air temperature (Ta) from automatic weather stations and land surface temperature (Ts) derived from ASTER and Landsat 8–9 are used to examine the relationship between Ta and Ts. The spatial and statistical characteristics of Ta − Ts dynamics are further analysed across land use (LU) and local climate zones (LCZ).

Comfort in the canopy: How urban treescapes affect human thermal comfort in a temperate climate
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract People living in urban centres are exposed to higher levels of heat stress than those living outside of these areas; this is intensified by the urban heat island effect. Heat stress is a concern for the more vulnerable members of society and can exacerbate many medical conditions; excessive heat increases morbidity and mortality rates.

A comprehensive generalizability assessment of data-driven Urban Heat Island (UHI) models
Sustainable Cities and Society, 2023 Data-driven models serve as valuable tools for understanding and tackling the UHI phenomenon that can provide user-friendly platforms for urban planners for incorporating UHI considerations in their decisions. This study aims to assess the generalizability of data-driven UHI models at the street-level resolution, particularly considering various ...

Mitigating urban heat island effects in urban environments: strategies and tools
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environment, 2023 In the twenty-first century, urban heat islands (UHIs) have become a major problem for humanity as a consequence of urbanization and industrialization. The main causes of UHI are the vast amounts of heat generated by urban structures as they consume and ...
