For a reliable assessment of sustainability in big cities, it is imperative to evaluate urban ecosystem conditions and the environment of the cities undergoing economic growth. Urban green spaces are valuable sources of evapotranspiration, which is generated by trees and vegetation; these spaces mitigate urban heat islands in cities. Land surface temperature (LST) is closely related to the dist...

This study assesses the impact of a heat wave on thermal comfort an unconstructed area: North Zone Island Zorrotzaurre (Bilbao, Spain). In this study, urban planning as proposed in master plan is modeled using ENVI-met program. Likewise, question whether urbanistic proposals are designed to create more resilient environments analyzed face increasingly frequent extreme weather events, especially...

To further evaluate the factors influencing public heat and air-quality health, a characterization of how urban areas affect the thermal environment, particularly in terms of the air temperature, is necessary. To assist public health agencies in ranking urban areas in terms of heat stress and developing mitigation plans or allocating various resources, this study characterized urban heat in Cal...
