The influence of small green space type and structure at the street level on urban heat island mitigation
217
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors determine the types and structures of small green spaces (SGs) that effectively reduce air temperature in urban blocks, by analyzing the spatial characteristics of SGs within the six blocks.

Urban green space cooling effect in cities
TL;DR: The results of the present study illustrate that the highest cooling effect distance and cooling effect intensity are for large urban parks with an area of more than 10 ha; however, in addition to the area, the natural elements and qualities of the urban green spaces, as well as climate characteristics, highly inform the urbanGreen space cooling effect.

Critical review on the cooling effect of urban blue-green space: A threshold-size perspective
TL;DR: The cooling effect of blue-green space has been recognized as a promising approach to mitigate the urban heat island (UHI), while the quantitative role (threshold-size for cooling) is still uncertain this article.

Local Climate Zones for Urban Temperature Studies
Iain D. Stewart,Timothy R. Oke +1 more
TL;DR: The Local Climate Zone (LCZ) classification system as discussed by the authors was developed to address the inadequacies of urban-rural description, and consists of 17 zone types at the local scale (102 to 104 m).
Urban greening to cool towns and cities: a systematic review of the empirical evidence.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used systematic review methodology to evaluate available evidence on whether greening interventions, such as tree planting or the creation of parks or green roofs, affect the air temperature of an urban area.
Street design and urban canopy layer climate
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the results of recent urban canyon field studies and of scale and mathematical modelling to find a range of canyon geometries that are compatible with the apparently conflicting design objectives of mid-latitude cities.
