Evaluation of Sustainable Urban Design With a Focus on Spatial Organization and Climatic Analysis
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The urban heat island (UHI) effect increases with the growth of cities and population. This situation triggers global climate change, and cities are negatively affected by this situation. In this study, five provinces (Antalya, Gaziantep, Bursa, Kayseri, and Erzurum) located in different climate zones in Turkey were selected as samples ...
