Abstract With the increase of Urban Heat Islands (UHI) and effects global warming, cities will face challenges in anticipating these phenomena. However, complexity urban development within framework planning policies, makes difficult for decision-makers to anticipate their territory. In this paper, we propose a methodology assess impact policies on Island. Thanks coupling 2D growth model, 3D co...

The worsening urban heat island (UHI) effect poses a great challenge to the thermal comfort of people outdoors. However, there has not been summary mechanisms by which UHI affects outdoor (OTC). This paper reviews commonly used OTC evaluation indexes, data collection methods, and mitigation measures discusses relationship between OTC. review is limited peer-reviewed journal publications found i...

Given rapid global urban development, increases to impervious surfaces, population growth, building construction, and energy consumption result in the heat island (UHI) phenomenon. However, spatial extent of UHIs is not clearly mapped many UHI studies based on a remote sensing approach. Therefore, we developed method extract during period from 2000 2021 Nanjing, China, explored impact two- thre...
