Design and Site-Related Factors Impacting the Cooling Performance of Urban Parks in Different Climate Zones: A Systematic Review

Land, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(12), P. 2175 - 2175

Published: Dec. 13, 2024

As cities expand rapidly, the combined effects of urbanization, global warming, and intensification Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon have become more challenging for urban environments. In response, Green Infrastructure (UGI) has gained attention as a practical effective tool mitigating UHI improving climate change. Among various UGIs, parks been subject numerous studies due to their proven ability reduce air surface temperatures, improve local microclimates, enhance overall livability. This systematic review synthesizes existing body research identify key factors that influence cooling performance parks. A total 131 peer-reviewed between 2014 2024 were analyzed, focusing on both design-related site-related play pivotal roles in park’s effectiveness. Design-related include park size, shape, vegetation density composition, presence water bodies, impervious surfaces while encompass background conditions, proximity natural configuration surrounding The findings reveal tree coverage, bodies are most influential enhancing performance. For factors, wind speed direction emerged critical components maximizing benefits. Research also showed can affect by influencing airflow patterns shading. Understanding these dynamics is crucial worldwide they strive design address specific environmental climatic challenges. this offer guidance landscape architects planners, enabling them deliver enhanced benefits, especially when face rising temperatures an increasing number heatwaves.

Seasonal Spatiotemporal Dynamics and Gradients of the Urban Heat Island Effect in Subtropical Furnace Megacity

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(7), P. 3238 - 3238

Published: April 5, 2025

Urban heat island (UHI) effect significantly influences the urban sustainability and health of cities varies seasonally. However, spring autumn have received less attention. Furthermore, research on long-term seasonal UHI changes impacts is insufficient. This study examines spatiotemporal dynamics gradient characteristics in spring, summer, autumn, winter Changsha, a typical subtropical “furnace city” from 2006 to 2022. (1) Spatiotemporal dynamics: The high-temperature (relatively zone zone) range expands most least autumn. Additionally, migrates northward within area, proximity core results multiple effects. (2) Gradient characteristics: proportion decreases varying degrees 5 km central point, but increases 6–8 11–13 gradients, especially 8 aggregation index (AI), contagion (CONTAG), largest patch (LPI) decreased, with patches more affected by these metrics Overall, this offers new insights into effects development UHI, which are crucial for addressing climate change, promoting sustainability, improving human well-being.
