The spatial optimization and evaluation of the economic, ecological, and social value of urban green space in Shenzhen
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the economic value of UGS in terms of promoting housing prices, its ecological value through the relief of high land surface temperature (LST), and its social value through providing of recreation spaces for residents within a 255 m distance.

A Comprehensive Review of Different Types of Green Infrastructure to Mitigate Urban Heat Islands: Progress, Functions, and Benefits
Huamei Shao,Gun-Woo Kim +1 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper used CiteSpace to analyze 1243 publications on the Web of Science from 1990 to 2021, then analyzed the function/regulation of ecosystem services/benefits and values of green infrastructure (GI) types in reducing UHIs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synergies or trade-offs?: Optimizing a virtual urban region to foster plant species richness, climate regulation, and compactness under varying landscape composition
TL;DR: In this article, a genetic algorithm was used to optimize the spatial allocation of three types of land cover blocks in a stylized urban region, and these blocks were categorized as high density, low-density, or park blocks, depending on the proportion of green and built-up cells within each block.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are global cities homogenizing? An assessment of urban form and heat island implications
Michelle Stuhlmacher,Matei Georgescu,B. L. Turner,Yi'na Hu,Ran Goldblatt,Sarthak Gupta,Amy E. Frazier,Yushim Kim,Robert C. Balling,Nicholas Clinton +9 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors examined how the area and configuration of built-up land within cities has changed between 1995 and 2015 and assessed impacts on the urban heat island effect, finding similar urban form trends across the three countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring the relationship between morphological spatial pattern of green space and urban heat island using machine learning methods
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors explored whether the morphological spatial pattern of land use matters to urban heat island (UHI) using machine learning methods and found that a few large core areas would be better than a large number of small islets when the total amount of green space is fixed.

FRAGSTATS: spatial pattern analysis program for quantifying landscape structure
Kevin McGarigal,Barbara J. Marks +1 more
TL;DR: McGarigal et al. as mentioned in this paper developed a spatial pattern analysis program for quantifying landscape structure called FRAGSTATS, which is almost completely automated and thus requires little technical training.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two decades of urban climate research: a review of turbulence, exchanges of energy and water, and the urban heat island
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed progress in urban climatology over the two decades since the first publication of the International Journal of Climatology (IJC) and highlighted the role of scale, heterogeneity, dynamic source areas for turbulent fluxes and the complexity introduced by the roughness sublayer over the tall, rigid roughness elements of cities.
Journal ArticleDOI
The maximal covering location problem
TL;DR: The use of a maximal service distance as a measure of the value of a given locational configuration has been discussed at length by Toregas and ReVelle 1 who show that it is an important surrogate measurement for the value.

Thermal remote sensing of urban climates
James A. Voogt,Timothy R. Oke +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the use of thermal remote sensing in the study of urban climates, focusing primarily on the urban heat island effect and progress made towards answering the methodological questions posed by Roth et al.
