Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying the influence of 2D and 3D urban morphology on the thermal environment across climatic zones
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the relationship between 2D/3D urban morphology and the urban thermal environment in summer and winter during the day and at night in 62 representative large cities across four major climate zones in China.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on urban park cooling effects and their driving factors in China: Considering 276 cities under different climate zones
Yi Zhou,Haile Zhao,Sicheng Mao,Guoliang Zhang,Yuling Jin,Yuchao Luo,Weitao Huo,Zhihua Pan,Pingli An,Fei Lun +9 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors explored urban park cooling effects (PCEs) at the regional scale, especially considering park landscapes and climate zones, and they crawled 12,780 urban parks in 276 Chinese cities and they were across seven Köppen-Geiger climate zones.
Journal ArticleDOI
Examining supply and demand of cooling effect of blue and green spaces in mitigating urban heat island effects: A case study of the Fujian Delta urban agglomeration (FDUA), China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors established the evaluation indicator system to quantify the supply capacity of cooling effect of blue and green spaces (BGSs) and the demand level of cooling effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linking urban park cool island effects to the landscape patterns inside and outside the park: A simultaneous equation modeling approach
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper used simultaneous equation modeling (SEM) approach to account for the mutual interactions between the temperatures of a park and its buffer, and found that doubling the park size can increase the park's cool island intensity by 0.8 K.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contrasting determinants of land surface temperature in three megacities: Implications to cool tropical metropolitan regions
TL;DR: In this article , the authors investigated the relationship between urban characteristics and land surface temperature (LST) for three megacities in the tropical savannah climate zone, Chennai, Dhaka, and Kolkata.

Local Climate Zones for Urban Temperature Studies
Iain D. Stewart,Timothy R. Oke +1 more
TL;DR: The Local Climate Zone (LCZ) classification system as discussed by the authors was developed to address the inadequacies of urban-rural description, and consists of 17 zone types at the local scale (102 to 104 m).
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urban greening to cool towns and cities: a systematic review of the empirical evidence.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used systematic review methodology to evaluate available evidence on whether greening interventions, such as tree planting or the creation of parks or green roofs, affect the air temperature of an urban area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cooling the cities – A review of reflective and green roof mitigation technologies to fight heat island and improve comfort in urban environments
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the state of the art on both the above technologies, when applied in the city scale, and present the definition of the limits, the boundaries and the conditions under which the considered technologies reach their better performance in a synthetic way.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strong contributions of local background climate to urban heat islands
TL;DR: For cities across North America, geographic variations in daytime ΔT are largely explained by variations in the efficiency with which urban and rural areas convect heat to the lower atmosphere, if urban areas are aerodynamically smoother than surrounding rural areas, urban heat dissipation is relatively less efficient and urban warming occurs (and vice versa).
