Description

Global Urban Heat Island Mitigation provides a comprehensive picture of global UHI micro-thermal interaction in different built environments. The book explains physical principles and how to moderate undesirable consequences of swift and haphazard urban development to create more sustainable and resilient cities. Sections provide extensive discussion on numerous UHI mitigation technologies and their effectiveness in cities around the globe. In addition, the book proposes novel UHI mitigation technologies and strategies while also assessing the effectiveness and suitability of UHI mitigation interventions in various climates and urban forms.- Adopts a multidisciplinary approach, bridging theoretical and applied urban climatology with urban heat mitigation- Compiles disparate urban climate research concepts and technologies into a coherent framework- Includes contributions from leaders in fields from around the globe
