Urban green spaces provide cooler microclimates and create localized urban cool islands and, as part of an adaption strategy to cope with future urban climate change, have been proposed as a means to mitigate the urban heat island effect. Numerous pr... Read More about A satellite image-based analysis of factors contributing to the green-space cool island intensity on a city scale.
