  2. Cities, Climate Change and Urban Heat Island Mitigation: Localising Global Environmental Science

    Jason Corburn · 2009 · Urban Studies · 203 cites

    This paper explores how city planners engaged with global climate scientists to devise contextually relevant strategies to address the urban heat island effect—a potentially dangerous heat event expected to increase along with global warming. Drawing original data from the New York City Regional Heat Island Initiative, a collaborative effort between scientists and urban planners, the paper highlights how global climate science is `localised' as researchers and policy-makers struggle to make technically legitimate and politically accountable decisions. The paper argues that the localisation of global science often involves a process of co-production, where technical issues are not divorced fr

  5. Balancing conflicting mitigation and adaptation behaviours of urban residents under climate change and the urban heat island effect

    Kayoko Kondo, L. Mabon, Yi-Fan Bi, et al. · 2020 · Sustainable Cities and Society · 96 cites

    Highlights • Cooling behaviours an area of increasing interest under rising heat in cities.• Survey of public in Fukuoka, Japan, assesses cooling behaviour and climate awareness.• Some people use air conditioning with mitigation focus, others emphasise adaptation.• Those emphasising mitigation have lower bills and more likely to engage in other behaviours.• Messaging on air conditioning use and promoting urban greening may enable co-benefits.

  7. Assessing the Cooling Effect of Blue-Green Spaces: Implications for Urban Heat Island Mitigation

    Pritipadmaja, R. Garg, Ashok K. Sharma · 2023 · Water · 82 cites

    The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect is a significant concern in today’s rapidly urbanising cities, with exacerbating heatwaves’ impact, urban livelihood, and environmental well-being. This study aims to assess the cooling effect of blue-green spaces in Bhubaneswar, India, and explore their implications for mitigating UHI effects. Satellite images were processed with Google Earth Engine (GEE) to produce information on the blue-green spaces’ land surface temperatures (LST). The Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Modified Normalised Difference Water Index (MNDWI) were employed to quantify the presence and characteristics of these blue-green spaces. The findings revealed significan
