Towards Sustainable and Climate-Resilient Cities: Mitigating Urban Heat Islands Through Green Infrastructure

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 17(3), С. 1303 - 1303

Опубликована: Фев. 6, 2025

Rapidly increasing construction and agglomeration in urban areas have made the heat island (UHI) problem a turning point for world, as result of notably rising earth temperature every year. UHI its impacts on climate are somewhat linked to weather-related matters, natural disasters disease outbreaks. Given challenges posed by urbanisation industrialisation achieving sustainability, it is crucial adopt intelligent decisive measures mitigate adverse outcomes UHI. Greenery surfaces long been significant focus scientific research policy development, reflecting their pivotal role combating islands promoting sustainable environments. This study critically reviews potential green infrastructure, including roofs, facades, shrubs, trees, so minimise severe contexts. By synthesising findings from wide range empirical studies, highlights key such reductions surface temperatures up 2 °C improvements outdoor thermal comfort indices over 10 under specific conditions. Additionally, paper introduces comprehensive framework integrating greenery systems into planning, combining passive cooling, air quality enhancement, energy efficiency strategies. The reveal that extensive particular, highly effective reducing indoor cooling demands, while strategically placed trees offer shading evapotranspiration benefits. work provides actionable insights policymakers planners boost climate-resilient cities whilst addressing gaps current related long-term performance cost-effectiveness infrastructure solutions.

Indian cities have frequently observed intense and severe heat waves for the last few years. It will be primarily due to a significant increase in variation wave characteristics like duration, frequency, intensity across urban regions of India. This study determine impact future climate scenarios SSP 245 585 over characteristics. present comparison between historical time (1981 2020) with projections, i.e., D1 (2021-2046), D2 (2047-2072), D3 (2073-2098) different smart cities. is that Coastal, Interior Peninsular, North-Central observe frequent under scenarios. A nearly two-fold wave' mean duration North Central zones. Thiruvananthapuram city on west coast has maximum hazard associated among all India both SSPs. assists policymakers improving planning implementation adaptation mitigation plans based proposed framework action health well-being hot weather extremes homogeneous temperature

Urban heat island intensity in coastal cities of northern Colombia using Landsat data and WRF/UCM model

Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 9, С. 100617 - 100617

Опубликована: Янв. 9, 2024

This study examines the evolution of urban heat islands (UHI) in northern Colombia during 2016 and 2021. We employed a multi-approach to analyze intensity magnitude UHI coastal zone metropolis. used Landsat images WRF model numerical modeling coupling Urban Canopy Module (WRF/UCM) estimate variability. data show annual mean LST has increased from 27.78 °C 28.46 2021 cities, especially central south zones built-up areas. Moreover, differences values for LULC classes showed an increase 0.48, 1.23, 0.06, 1.07 vegetation areas, build-up water bodies, barren land respectively, analyzed years. The temperature difference between LSTs vegetated areas 2.14 2.89 expansion (UHII) is directly related growth densification high daytime low nighttime. In contrast, average UHII diurnal cycle ranged 1.46 3.21 2021, higher at night (3.49 °C), while 2016, it (1.60 °C) according WRF/UCM model. density have led surface radiation absorption, which suppressed evaporation over impervious building materials resulted significant rise 2-m air temperature. Also, pronounced disparity slight variance sensible flux surfaces give heightened nighttime and, conversely, daytime. results underscore need promote sustainable practices planning construction infrastructure mitigate adapt UHI.
