Contributions of roads to surface temperature: evidence from Southern California

Ruth A. Engel et al.

Summary: Planners often view streets as potential targets for mitigating urban heat, but few studies have examined their role and scale of effect compared to the surrounding built environment. This study explores the relationship between road area and land surface temperature across different biophysical regions in Southern California. The findings suggest that wide streets do not consistently contribute to urban heat, with vegetation playing a primary role in cooling urban areas. Concrete highways, in the absence of trees, were found to have the lowest surface temperatures, although specific hot or cool pockets such as airports or parks can influence local temperature patterns. These hotspots might have a greater impact on mitigating land surface temperature than road surface changes.

Integrating planar and vertical environmental features for modelling land surface temperature based on street view images and land cover data

Xiaobing Wei et al.

Summary: With the increase in urbanization, urban areas are experiencing higher temperatures more frequently. The urban heat island (UHI) effect has become an important concern for climate change due to its serious impacts on the living environment and health of people. While previous studies have mainly focused on the horizontal expansion of urban areas, this study investigates the effects of vertical urban growth, such as tall buildings. By using panoramic Street View images (SVIs) and land cover data, a comprehensive set of features is proposed to characterize both the planar and vertical aspects of urban environments. The results show that these features contribute significantly to the estimation of land surface temperature (LST) and can be used for sustainable urban planning to mitigate the UHI effect.

Quantifying the effects of 2D/3D urban landscape patterns on land surface temperature: A perspective from cities of different sizes

Hongchao Xu et al.

Summary: With the continuous development of urbanization, the 2D landscape pattern is insufficient to explain complex urban thermal phenomenon. The relationship between 2D/3D urban patterns and land surface temperature (LST) in cities of different sizes has been analyzed. The study found that with the increase in city size, LST gradually increased in summer and decreased in winter. Factors such as tree volume, mean tree height, and impervious surface patch index significantly influenced LST.

Quantifying the nonlinear relationship between block morphology and the surrounding thermal environment using random forest method

Yuejing Gao et al.

Summary: This study comprehensively assessed the thermal environment at a fine-scale level in five representative blocks in Xi'an, China through field measurements. The results showed that the random forest model outperformed the ordinary least squares model in capturing the nonlinear relationship between thermal parameters and predictor variables. The analysis of variable importance revealed that variables related to the surrounding environment, such as distance to industry area and water bodies, were the major factors influencing the thermal environment variation. Proper control of these variables can help mitigate the heat island effect in Xi'an.

Exploring the impact of urban features on the spatial variation of land surface temperature within the diurnal cycle

Qi Wang et al.

Summary: Excessive heat in urban areas affects thermal comfort and livability. Understanding the correlations between urban features and land surface temperature (LST) is crucial for improving local thermal environment. In this study, machine learning models were used to analyze the relationship between urban features and ECOSTRESS LST in a 24-hour cycle, using Beijing, China as an example. The findings showed that the impact of urban features on LST was mainly dependent on sunlight intensity, with buildings and vegetation coverage having the most significant influence in the morning and afternoon respectively.

Summary: This study quantified the urban heat island (UHI) effect using Landsat 8 image inversion land surface temperatures (LSTs). By employing ordinary least squares (OLS) regression, geographically weighted regression (GWR) models, and multi-scale geographically weighted regression (MGWR), the researchers explored the spatial heterogeneities of the influencing factors and LST. The findings highlight the importance of factors such as building density, normalized difference impervious surface index (NDISI), and sky view factor (SVF) in elevated LST, while building height, forest land percentage, and waterbody percentage were negatively correlated with LST. Furthermore, the study revealed significant spatial non-stationary characteristics for variables like built-up percentage and population density.

Investigating pedestrian-level greenery in urban forms in a high-density city for urban planning

Junyi Hua et al.

Summary: The understanding of pedestrian-level greenery across urban forms in high-density cities is insufficient. This study conducted a citywide investigation of urban greenery by using a deep learning technique to extract greenery from fisheye images generated from Google Street View images in Hong Kong. The findings show that street greenery is spatially variant, with low greenery predominantly found in private residential and commercial/business lands in high-density areas. The correlation between pedestrian-level greenery measurement and the satellite-based NDVI is strong, but the inconsistency between them increases with different urban forms and openness. The study also demonstrates the potential implications for urban planning by integrating street greenery, population, and urban morphology for inequality analysis.

Seasonal and diurnal surface urban heat islands in China: an investigation of driving factors with three-dimensional urban morphological parameters

Shisong Cao et al.

Summary: Surface urban heat island (SUHI) has a significant impact on the urban environment and quality of life. This study found that three-dimensional urban morphological parameters (UMPs) have a more decisive influence on SUHI than two-dimensional parameters, especially in summer and under dry climatic conditions. Building height is negatively correlated with surface temperatures, while building volume is positively correlated. The ability of vegetation to regulate SUHI is more effective in dry climates and small cities. Varying climates and city sizes can modify the importance of two-dimensional and three-dimensional UMPs in the urban surface energy balance.

Summary: The study found that building coverage ratio is one of the most influential factors in urban land surface temperature, with high-rise buildings helping to alleviate LST, while low- and mid-rise buildings contribute to heating the surrounding areas. Green coverage ratio, edge density, and patch density are the most important factors in urban green spaces, with the cooling effect of UGS being obscured when buildings have a large coverage.
