On the impact of modified urban albedo on ambient temperature and heat related mortality

M. Santamouris et al.

Summary: Urban heat island and regional climate change contribute to elevated ambient temperatures in cities, leading to increased heat related mortality. Increasing urban albedo can help mitigate this impact by lowering ambient temperatures and reducing heat related deaths, with a statistically significant association observed between temperature drop and albedo increase, as well as other factors like greenery and population size. Accurate parametric functions have been developed to predict the magnitude of temperature drop and reduction in heat mortality.
