Spatially Heterogeneous Impacts of Urbanization in Reshaping the Dry and Hot Extremes Across Chinese Cities

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Escalating climatic hazards have posed considerable challenges to urban resilience and sustainable development. By integrating national‐scale meteorological data, this research elucidates how urbanization reshapes the dry and hot extremes across China at various temporal scales and within a regional framework.

Scenario-based modeling for exploring urban cooling pathways: a targeted, health-relevant approach toward just resilience

Environmental Research: Health
Mesoscale modeling applications assessing urban-heat-reducing strategies, such as cool roofs, usually assume uniform implementation. While informative at the city scale, this approach offers limited insight into practical deployment and usually does not ...

Generalized Scaling of Urban Heat Island Effect and Its Applications for Energy Consumption and Renewable Energy

Advances in Meteorology, 2014
In previous work from this laboratory, it has been found that the urban heat island intensity (UHI) can be scaled with the urban length scale and the wind speed, through the time-dependent energy balance.

Climate conscious design of light structures for improving the liveability of urban environments

Techne
A climate-neutral urban environment can benefit from light structures that provide relief from urban overheating in warm seasons, reduce surface temperatures, and lower energy needs and carbon emissions while sequestering carbon through bio-based ...

Blue-green urban oasis: creating strategic cool spots in overheated neighbourhoods

Techne
The paper presents a methodology for adapting to urban overheating by creating strategically located blue-green oases – combining vegetation and water systems to enhance neighbbourhood thermal comfort. Focusing on Milan’s Corvetto district as an example,

The predicted effect of preservation scenarios on indoor overheating for the renovation of heritage-listed apartment-style lilong houses in Shanghai under climate change

Built Heritage
An increase in ambient air temperature due to climate change can adversely affect indoor thermal conditions, particularly in heritage-listed dwellings, as renovation efforts may be limited by preservation constraints, potentially leading to indoor ...

Urban heat islands' effects on the thermo-energy performance of buildings according to their socio-economic factors

Developments in the Built Environment
Urban 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.
