UHI Street Typology Based on Seasonality: A Case Study from Apeldoorn, Netherlands

The Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon results in higher temperatures in urban areas compared to less urbanized regions. This is due to the concentration of urban infrastructure, which absorbs and then releases solar radiation. Given its significant role in exacerbating the climate crisis, the UHI phenomenon demands urgent attention. While traditional physics-based simulations for studying UHI are accurate, they require substantial resources, which limits their practical application in urban planning. Previous research by the authors highlighted the capability of data-driven models as a practi... Mehr ...
