An analysis showed greatest increase surfaces, especially industrial, commercial, transport units are common their outskirts, without exception any area. results less clear for fabrics agricultural due diversity complexity. density vegetation is key factor magnitude UHI, with more vegetated agriculture areas, therefore showing lower LST than both industrial fabrics. Another important conclusion role breezes limiting or eliminating strength UHI. Sea help explain monthly variation UHIs. Both bodies water dense tree provided lowest LST, fact special interest mitigating effects heat waves increasingly large areas. also concludes different effect each LULC recorded by observatories enables better decision-making when setting up weather stations detailed time island (UHI).

Global warming is a pressing problem that necessitates immediate action. This phenomenon particularly affecting the quality of life in larger cities due to population growth and human mobility. Understanding space-time variability heat stress various locations will face future therefore crucial for us. Taking into account aforementioned facts, current study examined evolution Hi index four European capitals - Berlin, Madrid, Paris, Rome during months July, August, September between 2008, 2012, 2017. The Space Agency (ESA) UrbClim climate model was used collect environmental data. Furthermore, Local Climatic Zones (LCZ) classifications land use/cover change (LULC) coverages were improve evaluation extrapolation results. According findings, studied areas experienced significant increases temperatures 2008 cities' average increase 0.31 °C per decade, with southern experiencing greater intensity northern less intensity. When comparing spatiotemporal different zones, discovered more impervious fewer green are vulnerable potential stress. As result, urban developments can be able create spaces resistant stress, improving people's life.

Extreme weather events and rising temperatures pose significant risks, not only in urban areas but also metropolitan forests, that affect the well-being of people who visit them. City forests are considered one best bets for mitigating high within civic areas. Such modulate microclimates contemporary cities, offering environmental, social, economic advantages. Therefore, comprehending intricate relationships between municipal climatic changes various destinations is crucial attaining healthier more sustainable city environments people. In this research, thermal comfort index (Modified Temperature–Humidity Index (MTHI)) has been analysed using Landsat images six London during July 2022, when area first experienced record-breaking over 40 °C. Our results show a growth MTHI goes from 2.5 (slightly hot) under normal conditions to 3.4 (hot) heat wave period. This situation intensifies environmental discomfort visitors highlights necessity enhance their adaptability future temperature increases. turn, it was found places most affected by waves those have grass cover or small associated buildings.

Climate adaptation policies have received attention in major due to the dual challenges of external factors like global warming, and internal related transition from rapid urbanization sustainable development. However, previous research on heat or climate mitigation has often focused factors, neglecting throughout process urban development planning history. Research revealed that city center where island phenomena is prominent, are subjected intense exposure, as well deeply influenced by “urban legacy.” An increasing body note inequitable legacy could impact environmental equity outcomes cities. Based this, we argue should adopt perspective process. We then utilize Heat Mitigation Framework examine tangible over an extended period This study focuses Charlotte undergone multiple processes redlining urbanization, using a framework for equity-oriented management whether series effectively reduced exposure they truly benefited heat-vulnerable groups. 20 years multi-source spatial data, this paper provides evidence ongoing enhancements environment center. despite these improvements, vulnerable group particularly susceptible negative effects did not experience commensurate benefits. The conclusion article validates trends studies nature-based solutions social-ecological systems, highlighting issue evaluation.
