This cause-and-effect connection may be linked weather-related dangers, natural disasters, disease outbreaks. Urbanization industrialization will not lead secure sustainable future. Finding solutions problems such as effect forefront scientific research policy development. Sustainable ways decrease impacts are core principle for planners. literature study examines benefits adding green infrastructure materials built-up areas reduce effect. Materials reflective street pavements, coating including light-colored paint, phase-change materials, color-changing fluorescence energy-efficient appliances considered whereas like roofs, walls, parking shaded streets mitigate hurdles widespread adoption practices include lack governmental legislation, insufficient technological development, erroneous estimation economic gains, unwillingness on part impacted parties.
