TLDR
The analysis suggests that the evapotranspiration-based cooling influence of both green and bluespace is primarily relevant for urban canopy-layer conditions, and that tree-dominated greenspace offers the greatest heat stress relief when it is most needed.About:

Magnitude of urban heat islands largely explained by climate and population
Gabriele Manoli,Gabriele Manoli,Simone Fatichi,Markus Schläpfer,Kailiang Yu,Thomas W. Crowther,Naika Meili,Paolo Burlando,Gabriel G. Katul,Elie Bou-Zeid +9 more
TL;DR: A coarse-grained model is introduced that links population, background climate, and UHI intensity, and it is shown that urban–rural differences in evapotranspiration and convection efficiency are the main determinants of warming.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review and synthesize research on the contextual factors that moderate the value and equitable distribution of ten of the most commonly cited urban ecosystem services, which helps to identify strategies to more efficiently, effectively and equitably implement nature-based solutions.

Urban green space cooling effect in cities
TL;DR: The results of the present study illustrate that the highest cooling effect distance and cooling effect intensity are for large urban parks with an area of more than 10 ha; however, in addition to the area, the natural elements and qualities of the urban green spaces, as well as climate characteristics, highly inform the urbanGreen space cooling effect.

Critical review on the cooling effect of urban blue-green space: A threshold-size perspective
TL;DR: The cooling effect of blue-green space has been recognized as a promising approach to mitigate the urban heat island (UHI), while the quantitative role (threshold-size for cooling) is still uncertain this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards the next generation of green building for urban heat island mitigation: Zero UHI impact building
TL;DR: In this article, the boundary of the green building-based UHIM system is defined and the potentials to establish the GB-based system are further analyzed in aspects of the UHI impacts on the GB benefits and the principle for heat mitigation.

Streams in the Urban Landscape
Michael J. Paul,Judy L. Meyer +1 more
TL;DR: The most consistent and pervasive effect is an increase in impervious surface cover within urban catchments, which alters the hydrology and geomorphology of streams as discussed by the authors, which results in predictable changes in stream habitat.

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.
