urban heat island mitigation
Urban heat island mitigation refers to the efforts taken to reduce or counteract the excessive heat buildup in urban areas caused by human activities, such as the use of dark surfaces, lack of vegetation, and increased energy consumption. This involves implementing strategies to cool the urban environment, enhance natural elements, and improve the overall sustainability of cities to alleviate the adverse effects of increased temperatures in urban areas.
