Effects of Urban Morphology on Microclimate Parameters in an Urban University Campus [PDF]
Sustainability, 2020 This study investigated the effects of urban morphology on microclimate parameters in an urban university campus in Malaysia. Outdoor air temperatures (Tout) were recorded at eight different locations inside the campus for seven days. The study used three urban morphological parameters such as green cover ratio, height-to-width (H/W) ratio, and sky ...

A review of the impact of blue space on the urban microclimate
Science of The Total Environment, 2020 The urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon represents a major public health issue and has received great attention due to rapid urbanisation. Blue spaces have long been considered a possible mitigation strategy to ameliorate the UHI. However, our knowledge regarding the interaction of waterbodies with their urban surroundings is still limited.
