Heat Island Mitigation
Heat Island Mitigation refers to strategies aimed at reducing the elevated temperatures in urban areas, known as urban heat islands. These areas often experience higher temperatures than surrounding rural regions due to human activities, concrete surfaces, and limited vegetation.
Common methods for mitigation include increasing urban greenery through parks and trees, using reflective materials for roofs and pavements, and implementing green roofs that support plant life. These approaches help lower surface and air temperatures, improve air quality, and enhance the overall livability of cities.
