Enhancing human thermal comfort in hot arid cities: A systematic review of urban heat island observations and mitigation strategies by Omer Abedrabboh (17346847)

“…Key findings include: (1) majority of hot arid cities experience a daytime urban cool island effect, (2) urbanization (land use/land cover changes) led to lower daytime and higher nighttime temperatures, (3) during the day, bare sand and industrial zones (LCZs F, 8, 10) record the highest temperatures, while compact built areas (LCZs 1, 2, 3) are hottest at night, (4) green infrastructure (mostly modelled and simulated using ENVI-met (local/micro-scale) and Weather Research and Forecasting Tool (mesoscale)), particularly tree canopies, is the most implemented and effective heat mitigation strategy, followed by cool materials, and (5) coastal arid cities show moderated UHI intensity. …”
