Developments in the Built EnvironmentUrban areas experience the urban heat island (UHI) effect, which affects the thermal comfort and energy consumption of buildings. These consequences could vary depending on the socio-economic status of the neighbourhoods.

Urban data model for studying neighborhood overheating
In a global warming context, solutions for mitigating urban overheating have been identified, such as high-albedo surfaces, urban morphology that allows for natural ventilation, and vegetation to provide shade and humidity. However, it remains challenging for stakeholders to adopt these solutions and incorporate them into the design of new ...

Urban overheating governance on the mitigation and adaptation of anthropogenic heat emissions
Our planet Earth is warming at an unprecedented rate as a result of human-induced activities. A global warming rate of 1°C has been observed since the pre-industrial era, and the IPCC reports indicate that this number will reach 1.5°C by 2030 because of the current rate of emissions and anthropogenic heat.
