the urban heat island effect refers to the temperature rise of the cities in comparison to the suburbs. this phenomenon which is a consequence of urbanization and has become a major issue in the urban climatology may have serious consequences in the developing countries which are facing a rapid and unplanned urban growth. tehran, the capital and the most populated city of iran, this phenomenon ...

The increasingly severe water crisis is restricting sustainable development of the Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration (YRDUA), highlighting importance collaborative resources management. Based on dataset from 26 cities between 2001 and 2020 in YRDUA, this study applies Social Network Analysis to research spatial correlation urban utilization, which helps identify interaction use behaviors ...

Which municipalities and locations within the United States contribute the most to household greenhouse gas emissions, and what is the effect of population density and suburbanization on emissions? Using national household surveys, we developed econometric models of demand for energy, transportation, food, goods, and services that were used to derive average household carbon footprints (HCF) fo...

As the world urbanizes, global health challenges are increasingly concentrated in cities. Currently, over 80% of the population in Latin America already lives in cities. The African urban population is projected to double in the next decade and China has urbanized in thirty years at a rate it took Europe and North America a century [1]. Rapidly growing new cities and increasingly segregated old...

INTRODUCTION OPTICAL transport technology has mainly been used for transport systems for long-haul transmission of large volumes of data between cities. As a consequence of the continuing conversion of network broadband access, however, optical transport technology is beginning to be applied to transmission within cities and to access systems for users. Optical access systems that perform optic...

Modern rapidly expanding cities generate intricate patterns of species diversity owing to immense complexity in urban spatial structure and current growth trajectories. We propose to identify and uncouple the drivers that give rise to these patterns by looking at the effect of urbanism on species diversity over a previously unexplored long temporal frame that covers early developments in urbani...

The relationship between local government structure and expenditure has received considerable attention, yet there is little consensus on how the features of representative government affect local expenditure decisions. The sole exception is city council size, which has consistently been found to have a positive and significant impact on expenditure. Previous results rely on cross-sectional est...

Smart cities, one of the key application areas 5G and IoT technologies, have at their core goal improving quality life, creating collaborative solutions, addressing resource constraints. Examples some many services integrated into network a typical smart city are related to health, transportation, buildings, hotels, industry, universities, etc. The new era wireless mobile telecommunication tech...
