Impacts of urbanization on extreme precipitation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area

Yanni Li et al.

Summary: The study found that urbanization in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area has a significant impact on extreme precipitation, particularly on convective extreme precipitation. Urbanization increases surface roughness, enhances mechanical turbulence, strengthens low-level convergence and convection, leading to an increase in extreme precipitation intensity.

Increasing Human-Perceived Heat Stress Risks Exacerbated by Urbanization in China: A Comparative Study Based on Multiple Metrics

Ming Luo et al.

Summary: Rapid urbanization in China has led to increasing summer heat stress in urban agglomerations, especially in heavily populated and developed areas in northern regions. Urbanization contributes significantly to the intensification of heat stress, with urban core areas experiencing stronger trends compared to rural areas. Geographical region and population density influence the impact of urbanization on heat stress, with different heat stress metrics yielding varying estimations of trends.
